Thank you so much for this beautiful and insightful review. I’m really touched that Ellie’s restlessness resonated with you—and that her journey prompted such personal reflection. That’s exactly the kind of connection I hoped to inspire.
I wanted to honour Ellie’s heartbreak in all its complexity, so I’m glad it felt authentic and unhurried. It’s important to me that her healing felt real, not rushed or neat.
Jess absolutely deserves her own Netflix series—I couldn’t agree more! And I loved weaving those chaotic TEFL moments and sensory details to bring Ban Phe to life.
Sanjay and the tailor shop as a metaphor for Ellie’s rebirth is so meaningful to me, too, so I’m glad it connected with you.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughtful reflections—and for accepting the suitcase. May your own adventures be just around the corner. Warmly, Sharri Holroyd
