Did not expect Stella to hire an escort. Story was super cute. Michael setting standards high. Loved seeing representation of autism.

A very steamy read with lots of connection between the lead male and female protagonists. I loved hearing them fall in love with each other without letting the other know their feelings.

Being autistic doesn't define you or make you less of a person.

From the start until the end I always side with Stella. I love her for being honest and straight forward and she's funny on her own way. She's so fucking smart and based on the description she's pretty. She's perfect. She's a ten.

And there goes Michael. An escort. Its admirable when someone are willing to give up everything just for his family. Imagine he's willing to go such length and discontinue his dreams for his mother.

Michael treated Stella the way she deserves. Unlike those three asshole plus Philip who treats her like shit. I know what Michael did is bare minimum but still😤 they deserve each other. And also Michael's mom is right. "You deserve someone better" is overrated. If you want to be with someone make/prove yourself that you're 'the better'. Work for it.

Though, the ending felt rushed and lack of something😣

This book was gorgeous. I really related to the main character and I loved how the love interest was supportive. The cast of characters was diverse and well-rounded. I loved how the romance interacted with the journey of self-discovery. I’d definitely read this again.
