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.

The overall idea of this book, I think is a good idea, however I do find slight problems in the way it was executed. After the romance was “developed” and the characters were far past “in love”, still I cannot see their relationship past lust. Even in those non sexual but romantic moments, the characters always found a way to indulge in erotic activities. It became slightly annoying because it felt once again as thought their romance was purely based on lust. I mean if they had to take a basic quiz on each other, they would fail. For god sake that didn’t even know each other’s favorite color. Yes I could be being picky but a more evolved romance would have been welcomed. The book was okay but it Isn’t a book I would recommend.

Very amusing book, I was told so many times to read this book and I'm glad I did. It was interesting to read an autistic character with genuine depth, and a relief to see them dealing with the challenging aspects of autism AND being a wildly successful and sexy person.

Maybe a little too spicy for me at times, I'd personally like a higher fluff to smut ratio with a bit more slow burn romance, but I loved reading a book with an autistic lead. There aren't too many of those, and to read it from an author who is also on the spectrum was really exciting. This kind of representation is important to me, so I'm definitely going to at least look into the second book in this universe and see where that leads me.

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.
