I think I would have enjoyed this story more if I could have figured out WHY the guy was in love with the heroine. She’s fairly annoying from the beginning and proceeds to set him up with her friends, a word she’s using loosely as she doesn’t know anything about either woman. Then both main characters appear cold when they share a laugh over the woman who is fearful of men. It doesn’t occur to either of them that those fears might stem from at attack or abuse, which should not be remotely entertaining.The age difference should not have been a huge obstacle, but the guy mentions it so much that it feels as though he’s bothered by it and that’s a little creepy, particularly when he wants to kiss her because she looks like “an innocent kitten.” The ending made me cringe so much I could barely read it. (If you believe declarations of love should be private, you’ll agree.) It didn’t even make sense because in the actual play Juliet “dies” before Romeo.I can forgive plot holes for a well-written tale, but this one had dozens of typos/grammatical errors and tons of awkwardly worded sentences.
