Cute and quippy, acerbic and existential, this slim dialogue between an angel and a mortal man asks the question: is there a wrong way to want to build a life? And can love, no matter how fierce, overcome the challenge of wanting different things, of wanting more versus simply wanting to settle for what you already have?
— Melanie
