plot in a Nutshell Our protagonist, Anna, is the kind of planner who probably labels her cereal “Monday” and “Tuesday.” She defers a job at Goldman Sachs to spend a year studying Victorian poetry at Oxford. Naturally, she meets a charming, brooding poetry TA named Jamie yes, he’s her professor. Sparks and insta-bromance ensue among ancient libraries and fish-and-chips witticisms. But wait he’s terminally ill. She drops her job, he courageously (if questionably) refuses treatment, he dies, then she becomes a professor teaching his favorite poetry. Cue solo European “grand tour,” with zero signs of regret or sense. Predictability Overload: The great twist professor secretly terminally ill is less “gut-punch plot twist,” more “here comes the tissues.” The story pivot feels forced, turning a potentially quirky rom-com into a sad slog.
