I picked up this book for some lighthearted romance and got so much more than I bargained for. I was nervously pacing my appartment, jumping and yelling at my phone while listening to this. The story goes into so many sensitive issues like toxic family dynamics, emotional recovery from cancer, what it means to be a woman with autism, masking and recovering from autistic burnout. It’s just beautyful. I loved it. Five stars.
