Well, you definitely need some suspension of disbelief, and the kid is far too competent. But I was still entertained by the story and the romance was as mature as the characters' behaviour. It was nice to see two characters who know who they are and where they stand in life come together and appreciate each other. It was also nice to see a character come into a world different from her own, but already knowing a lot about it, and using that to her advantage, carving out a place for herself and demanding it, and not just being content to be the appendage of her love interest.
