Well, you definitely need some suspension of disbelief, and that child is far too competent. But I was entertained by the story nonetheless and the romance was as grown-up as the characters behaved. It was nice to see two characters who know who they are and where they stand in life get together and value each other. It was also nice to see a character join a world different to her own, but already knowing a lot about it and using that to her advantage, forging and demanding a place for herself and not just being content with being the appendage to her love interest.
