Review of Missed Connections
Hipsters having subway crushes is cute, but it would have been nice to have had a story that presented some kind of drama… some kind of story that followed through. Just the same, Missed Connections is sweet, and by the end of it, you start thinking about something as mundane as riding the subway in a new way. Plus, St. Valentine’s day is only four and half months away. Programmers, open up your hearts and let the subway in.
