I loved that this series had main characters with a disability. While the same characters are throughout the series, each story focuses on one couple. This story in particular had the realist family relationships that I think any one who has strained connections can relate to. I related so much to Anna and her mental health struggles with burn out and the exceptions and responsibilities of being a daughter.

She’s too much of a people pleasure which annoyed me. Also, her family sucked.

Enjoyed this a lot even though it made me anxious at times. I think some parts have been glossed over rather quickly.

We love to see the autistic representation. I felt extremely seen by the main character. I clocked it almost immediately and reading thoughts I’ve felt myself so many times was simultaneously difficult and extremely healing. Representation is so important and this book is one of the few I’ve read where I felt autism was well represented even if it was a bit different than the symptoms I experience.

I loved the characters and the intricate (and infuriating) family relationships. And I loved that while it handled a lot of really dark topics that I feel like a lot of people don’t explore as thoroughly as this author did the overall feel of the book was hopeful.

After reading a lots of sequels back to back, I just would rather reread The Kiss Quoitent.

4 ⭐️ - This book was much more enjoyable than the second in the series. I think that’s because we knew a little bit more about the MMC, Quan, than we did in The Bride Test (MMC Khai).

I will say that I’m glad this series is complete. It started to get very repetitive. Neurotypical person falls for a neurodivergent/ASD person (this family has a knack for finding neurodivergent people in the wild). And every single one of the books had a “miscommunication trope” leading up to the climax - which is frustrating.

I really like the MMC Quan. I’ve actually grown a little attached to him. A bad boy exterior with a bit of a gray past, who is actually just a teddy bear. It’s very endearing, and he’s definitely my type.

FMC Anna is also very likeable. She is the neurodivergent person in the relationship, and (once again) her inner monologue is very relatable to myself (a suspected neurodivergent).

Overall, I’d give the whole series 3.75 stars. Definitely a quick, fun little summery romance series that I finished in about a week.
