It was really nice to see some neurodivergent rep in regards to dating
However, the escort angle was not up my alley (like lady, you could have also read some books or watched some porn before going straight to an escort?)
It was overall entertaining, and I was super glad it wasn’t straighttt into sex (although this is not what I would call slow burn at all).
There was some weird drama but overall I was rooting for them

I liked this book. I liked that they talked about autism and Asperger’s, and how they had a generally healthy relationship. I wish it focused more on their friendship and interactions, but it was overall good. I also wish they treated her coworker kissing her without consent more, because that is assault and is serious. Overall, it was a nice book.

If I never see a line like "she has the kind of nipples men and babies dreamed about" in a piece of published fiction ever again it will be too soon.

Very cute, though cringe-worthy from time to time.
I liked the way the author described Stella’s Aspergers, and, as an autistic woman, I saw some of myself in her.

Not sure I’ll be picking up the second one, but that ending though!! Was smiling from ear to ear.

This was a cute book. It was a relatively fast read. I think it's a great, standard romantic comedy novel. I loved the premise behind it, but I rated it 3 stars because I didn't enjoy the many many sex scenes in the book. I get that was the point of their relationship, but it didn't feel totally necessary to go into great detail every single time. It was a little bit distracting from the storyline.

That said, I still enjoyed the book and would recommend it for anyone looking for a light cheesy romance!

4.5/5

Mari genapkan menjadi 5/5 😉

Bagus sekaliiiii. Bacaan ringan tapi berbobot. Karena tema yang diangkat juga gak biasa banget.

Suka sekali dengan tema yang tidak biasa yang diangkat di novel ini. Karena si tokoh utama yaitu Stella adalah seorang gadis autis. Yes, you read it right, she is an autistic.
Dan kemudian Michael adalah seorang escort. Ku tak tau bahasa Indonesia dari escorting apa hehe Jadi maafkan yaaa 😅

Jujur pertama kali baca novel ini tidak berharap banyak bakal bagus banget. Well yeah, tau novel ini karena jadi salah satu nominasi di Goodreads awards 2018 terus malah menang juga. Tanpa lihat sinopsis dan sebagainya, langsung mulai baca ebooknya dan turn out ceritanya interesting sekali. Kisah cinta tapi beda dari yang lain.
Ini novel romance pertama yang aku baca yang mengangkat tema percintaan antara Autistic. Dan gak cuma autistic nya yang bikin menarik, ini pasangannya sama seorang escort. Lol what a combination!

Tapi ini ratenya 18+++ deh ya. Kalau belum cukup umur mending jangan baca ini hahaha

Tapi beneran deh ini sebenernya ceritanya ringan sekali. Gak ada terlalu banyak konflik didalamnya. Jadinya asik pas bacanya, kayak gak berat-berat banget.

So, that's it! Senang sekali membaca satu lagi novel yang bagus!
