This felt super creepy and gross. Leah is basically still a child who has adored her older brother's best friend for years. She's suffering from PTSD and Axel is pushing her to do stuff she isn't comfortable with. Axel is 10 years older then Leah. He seems super immature but still he's a grown ass man while Leah isn't even out school yet. Axel saying "don't disobey me" really rubbed me the wrong way, that line gave super predatorial vibes. Also, the constant smoking but "I'm not a smoker" bullshit was super gross and annoying. 
wanted to like this and tried to listen for as long as could but the kiss broke the camel's back and I'm out.
