Overall I liked the book, it's pretty much Pretty Woman with the genders reversed and autism rep. If you're not a romance person, I could see it getting frustrating with both of them being insecure and like they're not good enough for the other person when the other person is clearly in love with them, but it works out in favor of the characters, and especially with the message that Stella never needed to try and change herself to get a guy to like her, and if she did, he wouldn't be worth it.

This book was a lovely fluffy romance that I did really enjoy! I loved both the main characters and their relationship. That being said, the last quarter or so kind of annoyed me, but it came together in the end.
the last bit of the book with the complete miscommunication being the basis for the plot was so frustrating! I just wanted them both to realise they actually liked each other but they were both soooo oblivious omg. I do think the ending was cute when they got back together but it was a bit of a maddening journey for a while there

Cute, quick and light . I needed something to get me out of my current reading rut and this did the trick. Overall I liked the the plot and “fake dating” is my favourite romance trope although I don’t read much contemporary romance. The main drawback for me was the ending. I felt like it was a little slapped together and the epilogue was pointless. I will definitely be checking out the other books in the series.

Wow this book was good! It was super sweet and cute and romantic and spicy all at the same time, and it had a protagonist just like me: autistic.

It was so refreshing and validating for me to read about Stella and how she navigated the world as an Autistic woman. There were so many things about her that I could relate to like overstimulation, needing routine, and difficulty with social interaction. It almost felt like I saw myself on the page. It also helped that this was an Own Voices novel written by a Autistic Woman, making it feel all the more genuine.

I loved Stella and Michael’s relationship. It was so cute and romantic. From the very beginning, he asked for consent whenever they did anything, and when he learned that she was Autistic, he shifted his focus towards her and her needs. Ugh I love Michael so much.

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.

Minus points for using the term 'aspergers' and having a love triangle but as far as love triangles go it wasn't particularly painful
