Very perceptive, accessible writing style. Very spicy content. Loved the character development even though Evan's story arc felt a bit contrived and seemed too desperate to pull on my heartstrings and make me want to deify him. Loved the autism rep; the focus of the story wasn't about the perils and challenges of living with autism but rather it was about the life of an autistic woman who loves comics as she navigates life and love.

Love Love Love. I don’t know what it is when romance books have autism rep they almost always are freaking fantastic. Evan’s care for Ruth, Ruth’s love for Evan even when she struggles. I’m obsessed.

Dual POV about a autistic woman and the guy next door. The romance and spice level was good with enough of a story line to keep you interested
