Twitter Capsule: Invites "modest" and "sweet" as dignified critical terms. Fulfills appealing formula, with winning tweaks.

VOR:   Its amiable, pop-friendly generic conservatism is a breath of fresh air in this context. Nice twist to have handsome new kid crushing on protagonist, not just the reverse.
