A heart-warming, quick read. I found some things about the need to change to fit in a bit difficult to agree with, but no character’s ever actually changed other than natural development. A great neurodivergent perspective on love.

This involves spoilers.
This was a good book. I read it in a couple days. I borrowed it from my aunt, she really liked it. It is well written and interesting because it is written from a person with Asperger’s syndrome’s perspective. It is about how Don and Rosie fall in love despite their intentions. Don makes “the wife project”, which involves a questionnaire to find the perfect wife. Rosie takes the questionnaire and is obviously incompatible, but they fall in love despite this.
