This is the sweet rom com I've been looking for! It made me laugh, it make me cry and it made me feel! 

I loved Annika right from the start. She was a character I could relate to and felt all the feelings she felt. Jonathan is the emblem of the sweetest and kindest man imaginable. Can we talk book boyfriend worthy? Their relationship made me feel good right from the start. There was no off-again off-again love. It was pure and simple and sweet. Yes, they did go separate ways, just to come back together again, but through the story, you learn the reason and it did break my heart, but I also had hope and understanding. 

The writing was lovely and matched the story and characters perfectly. The story-line was simple and sweet, yet had its moments of challenge. Annika grew so much throughout the story and it made me love her more. 

This story also brings light to the autism spectrum, which I appreciated so much. I personally don't have autism, but I have a disability, and so I appreciate when characters are diverse and light is brought to these individuals and their ossicles and they are humanized. 

I highly recommend this book! it was so perfect.
