I think what makes it so good, besides the absolutely magical world and whimsy, is that she and the GK don’t end up together. It doesn’t romanticize the fact he’s a strange, older, domineering man. They were supposed to kiss at the ball, but Bowie (standup angel of a man that he was) said no, because she was too young.
