I Don’t Want to Kiss Until We’re Married

My Thoughts on I Don’t Want to Kiss Until We’re Married

First Impressions

Okay, so I went into "I Don’t Want to Kiss Until We’re Married" expecting a sweet, albeit perhaps slightly angsty, romance. The title suggested a slow-burn, maybe some cute misunderstandings. What I encountered, though, was… something else entirely. Let's just say my expectations were definitely subverted.

What Works Well

Honestly, finding positives in this one was a bit of a challenge. The early romance aspect might appeal to some, and I can see the potential in the childhood friends trope. The premise of exploring intimacy issues within a relationship also had promise. However, the execution left much to be desired. I did appreciate the initial setup of the protagonist having to navigate the differing desires of his girlfriend and childhood friend. It could have been a compelling exploration of boundaries and communication.

Areas of Concern

The biggest issue for me, and I suspect for many readers, is the protagonist's character. His indecisiveness quickly spirals into outright infidelity, making it incredibly difficult to root for him. The constant cheating and the lack of any real consequences or remorse made it hard to invest in the story. The plot feels repetitive, stuck in a cycle of betrayal and weak resolutions.

The female characters also suffer from a lack of depth. Their actions often feel driven by plot convenience rather than genuine motivations. The drama feels forced, and the characters' reactions to the protagonist's behavior are often inconsistent.

Final Verdict

Ultimately, "I Don’t Want to Kiss Until We’re Married" didn’t resonate with me. The unlikable characters, repetitive plot, and questionable moral compass made it a difficult read. While the initial premise had potential, the execution fell short. I can’t recommend this one unless you’re specifically looking for a story with a morally bankrupt protagonist and a heavy dose of drama.
