I trust the opinions of members of the community for whom the book was written over that of someone who clearly is not familiar with that sort of life experience, and I will likewise trust my own understanding of the character and her long-term story arc. As for the core relationship not lasting: to borrow a line from Avengers: Age of Ultron — “A thing isn’t beautiful because it lasts.” Many readers understood perfectly that the bittersweet tale of a first love of a character’s life doesn’t need to be the only love of their life in order to be a meaningful element of the coming-of-age tale, which is exactly what Firewall is.
