in this sweet and short (less than 5 hours!) romcom, we listen to marigold and robbie's relationship evolve as they work in their shared psych assaigment: determining whether love at first sight really exists. to acomplish the task they need to schedule 5 couples interviews to question them about the start of their love story, record the meetings, then draft some theory. however, while marigold is convinced love at first sight is just a myth, robbie is a big romantic and so, as well as getting their homework done, they are determined to proving each other wrong.

this one was sooo good and i really enjoyed the way it was executed- the cast of narrators and background sounds really elevated the listening experience. 

the best part for me definetly was the commentary on romantic love and relationships, which i found to be well executed, with both parts making a fair case of their respective opinions. i also appreciate the way they didn't fight about their dissagreaments, and instead chose to listen and encourage eachother to elaborate further. we love healthy, adult communication!!!
