It never seems like an effort to be woke, just a natural detail that reflects the now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.412), 18px);px\">But after a super strong first half, In a New York Minute just lags in the middle. There&#8217;s a random second possible (but who are we kidding?) love interest, time spent doing the interior decorating in the office, and I found myself skimming ahead. Eventually it gets back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.412), 18px);px\">There\u2019s a lot to like here, especially in the first half.
