Review
-----

Timer is an indie rom-com that takes place in a world where people are swept up in the latest dating craze. It's called the Timer, and it counts down, assuming your partner also has a Timer, to the day when you two will first meet, and the moment that you lay eyes on each other. Our main character, Oona ("as in Uma Thurman?") has a Timer, but her partner does not and therefore, it isn't counting down yet. This is a cause of distress, because like lots of young adults, Oona is concerned that she's never going to meet that special someone.
