She is awkward and uncomfortable with herself but he loves her passionately. It makes a change. Not sure if that helps at all but good luck with your book
Same thing as I look for in any other book. Real people dealing with situations the best way they know how, surprises, plot twists that you can't forsee, a story that moves along. The magic or fantasy element must be consistent and integral to the story, not a tool to get the writer out of difficult spots. It can have sad bits and major characters can die, but it must have a happy ending unless you are Guy Kay or Ursula le Guin!!
