See if your family has alternates to connect some of the letters. The O and N in "gone" look awkward, as does most of the kerning, not natural, looks like a font. It's meant to be a script so I think you should try to connect some/most of the letters, give it a more natural feel.
I don't know, I've always been weird about fonts that are meant to look handwritten. If i use them (rarely) I'll create outlines and tweak them until they look handwritten. Easier to print it out, trace it, scan it in, export paths to Illy, and tweak away.
It's worth the effort because a) as a designer you should just care and b) it's gonna be on your skin for life.
