The art is good but I can't bring myself to like it. Like in every panel the girl is posing in an unnatural and uncomfortable position. Feels like I'm reading a fashion magazine with speech bubbles. And the boy's face is always wide-mouthed shocked. It just looks strange even if the drawings are...
This ruined Christmas. Even referencing an actually good romantic scene from a classic Christmas movie.
"I'm not a kid anymore" no you're not.. you haven't been a kid for a few decades. You're actually an old man!
