do you know this is based on a real book? Oh, no. That makes sense. It's based on a book called Relationship Goals. Yeah, the full title is Relationship Goals, How to Win at Dating, Marriage, and Sex. You know what? Once the movie started, I figured this was based on a book. Like, literally when the movie started, I was like, oh, this has, if I, anytime it's based on like a, sorry, just clarity before you continue, but it's based on like a how to or like a, it's based on the book that they talk about in the movie.
