This was not as good as I expected given the glowing reviews :( A super easy read, but I think it lacked depth. Don, the main character, was the stereotypical white male on the autism spectrum - think Sheldon Cooper but Australian. While it was entertaining and interesting to read his perspective on the world and on human interactions, there wasn't much character development (I don't count

make-overs for the sake of someone else

as character development, sorry). Same with Rosie, who seemed like a great character at first, but also lacked from deeper development as a character.
While the story kept me entertained, the ending was too rushed and I wished we could have seen more from Rosie's perspective other than

accepting Don's proposal

. Overall, it was an okay novel and thumbs up for autistic representation, but I wanted more.
