I really liked the kind of characters that were here (I *LOVE* to see characters who are well into adulthood who have never been kissed, whose anxieties and difficulties making friends have debilitated them etc - this is so underrepresented), but I wish they'd not had scenes of suddenly grabbing the others face and kissing them unprompted. I don't like the framing that there's some kind of "I can't control myself around you" vibe. I will acknowledge that that vibe is less so here than in other romantic stories, but it still bothers me. There's also a lot of "I didn't want to live before you" stuff that ticks me off.
