As a woman recently diagnosed with ADHD, it was so helpful to see how Raine’s symptoms manifested in daily life situations. I found myself nodding along and recognizing things that I do myself; the representation felt really authentic and not shoehorned in. Same goes for Jack’s OCD!

They had great chemistry, and I appreciate how upfront they were about their attraction to each other. The empathy and communication were great! You got the sense that they truly understood and supported one another in ways other people in their lives couldn’t.

Highly recommend the audiobook; the voice actors were lovely, and the accents were well done.

This book has my heart. Had me crying before I even started it! Once you open the book, you’ll understand. It’s funny and one of my favourite books I’ve ever read. If you have OCD or ADHD you will probably appreciate this book. 💚

I honestly expected this to be a typical rom com that wasn’t anything overly special and it far exceeded my expectations.

4.5 ⭐️ This book was so sweet, endearing & funny. I absolutely loved it & did not want it to end.

A big aspect of this book is the fact that Raine has ADHD & Jack has OCD. I loved how well the author wrote about these issues, & how deep she dove into their effects on each character. She provided such a deep respect for the challenges both Jack & Raine deal with. Their acceptance of each other was so heartwarming & it gives so many hopeful feelings.
This book was nothing short of amazing!!

I cannot wait to dive into this author’s backlist !

I thought this was going to be a pretty standard romance novel, and while aspects are, the representation of OCD and ADHD help it stand out.  I haven’t read many books that provide these viewpoints and enjoyed the different perspectives.
