Love anything with Ruth Wilson. Even though the story was a bit slow, the cast were able to depict the addictive nature that two emotional needy people can fall into when there is a strong attraction but too many emotional issues to make a lasting connection. Kate craves love and mistakes sex for intimacy. She supposes Blond will come around to her advances at having a real relationship where two people are honest and considerate. But he is too psychologically damaged from his childhood and has attachment issues. As soon as she gets too close he starts withdrawing but she is already hooked on him, and like a drug she needs a fix, whether it is just a text from him or another hook up. Her life is already unfulfilled when she meets him, she is bored and seeking someone to make her feel alive. Blond emotionally manipulates her into thinking they could maybe have a future but keeps letting her down. She gives in one more time to him like someone who can't resist a tempting treat and meets him in Spain for his sister's wedding, by now, after not hearing from him for weeks, she is starting to wean herself off of him. Thankfully something finally clicks that he will never be who she wants him to be, not ever, and she gives up on expecting him to treat her with dignity. The ending is perfect as she gives him his own medicine.
