Weirdest pacing, milktoast characters. Absolutely unbelievable "flaw" for the female MC -- what 28-year-old is still this obsessed with how her high school music teacher perceives her?! I don't think anyone pushing 30 is thinking about high school this much. Wild stuff.
Also, !! PSA !!: pointing out the fact that you're relying on boring-ass cliches/tropes (e.g. hitting absolutely every beat of the Hallmark Movie Romance) does not mean those tropes are now fun & fresh! I am so tired of lampshading! It should be illegal!
