3.5
I really liked this book. It was refreshing to read about an autistic character and I related to him a lot. The romance was fluffy, innocent and pleasant to read. I liked Kit and David’s chemistry. I thought that the autism representation through David’s internal dialogue was overall realistic and positive. The plot twist near the end took me by surprise; I was not expecting it at all.
There were a few instances of ableism, not just by the characters but seemingly by the author in the way she wrote about autism. David’s “I’m too capable to be autistic” attitude was disappointing. I also didn’t appreciate how the only way David’s character arc progressed in the midpoint was through his “makeover” or the way his sister berated him for behaviors such as stimming. A negative autistic stereotype I think could have been avoided is the “creepy autistic guy,” evidenced when David thinks he could imagine Kit naked or accurately guess her bra size. Just unnecessary.
All of that being said, I did enjoy this book. David’s voice was powerful and unique. I do wish Kit was a more developed character; it was easier to relate to and empathize with David, but Kit’s chapters sometimes felt rushed and detached from the larger story.
I would recommend this book to YA readers 16+.
