A Girl Like Her by Talia Hibbert
4.0
I'm ashamed to say I don't think I've read any novels where the main character was on the autism spectrum. There are theories about Reed Richards and Maya Hansen, but I'm not sure if that was confirmed.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this. I found the main character, Ruth, relatable (although, if I met her, I would have to preach about the virtues of Captain America). She enjoys reading comics, only really talks to her family and apparently finds most social interactions exhausting. Highly relatable.
Once again, the love interest, Evan, is amazing. He's tall, tattooed, extremely considerate and understanding. He's thoughtful and takes care of the people he sees that need help. Ironially (or perhaps intentionally?) Ruth refers to a character Evan likes, Captain America, as an annoying do gooder... and that's what Evan is? So, I'm thinking that might have been intentional. Not sure.
The romance was well paced, as usual. The sex scenes were incredibly hot *fans self*. This is the first of Hibbert's works that I've read where the epilogue is a sex scene. Very, very much appreciated.
It's a recommend from me, honestly. I enjoyed it, I love Evan and Ruth together and I read through it rather quickly.

Spoiler
As with the other novels, there's a reveal. This one, like "Work For It", featured a main character in a small town where everyone seems to hate them. Daniel is a real piece of work and I'm really glad the ending involved Ruth standing up for herself and refusing to let Evan save her. I appreciated that it was her words that finally made Daniel stay away.The romance was well paced, as usual. The sex scenes were incredibly hot *fans self*.
