Laugh & cry about mental health struggles in relationships
Starts off a little weird/awkward rom-com-ish, looking at the psychosexual hang-ups of a psychologist who house-shares with another psychologist and a guy with Asperger’s syndrome. The house’s owner—an arrogant author—moves in, and the female lead clashes with him before they fall hard for each other.
After that, the plot takes a turn, developing into a fairly deep exploration of how we deal with—or don’t deal with—mental health, as well as how mental disorders (schizophrenia in particular) affect our relationships and the choices we make around them. The direction shift from “weird rom-com” to “serious, heart-wrenching drama” surprised me, but I laughed and openly cried at this one.
