I didn’t think I’d enjoy this as much as I did (due to the age gap). But honestly, it was done in a semi healthy way?? Like of course a 32yr old man wanting a 17yr old is off putting (even though he waited til she turned 18), but it wasn’t a fetish-y trope (for example: there was no sick obsession w her being a virgin). She wasn’t a clueless-innocent woman who learned everything through an older man…her unfortunate upbringing forced her to become mature at a young age. 
The communication between Juliet and Maximo was pretty good all things considered! They actually make sense together.
