It's _definitely_ for silly teenagers, and I think I'd have absolutely adored it 8-10 years ago, but now it mostly just made me blush, because of how I was, and not how I am. If that makes any kind of sense. It was sweet, in many ways, and was set at my old Renaissance Festival (in Shakopee, MN, though it was transposed to Minnetonka, here) to boot, so made me wax nostalgic and desperately miss my old life, but I'm starting to recapture some of that, so it's not so bad. Anyway, if you can handle silly young love and understand what it's like to wish you _lived_ at and in the Renaissance Faire instead of just working or traveling there, you'll enjoy this, though cynics should probably avoid it.)
