The Heart Principle is a melancholic read, starkly different from the other books in this trilogy. It is also the most realistic, and is loosely based on Hoang’s own story.

Quan is my fave male character in the series, so I’m glad he really gets to shine in this book. I  feel ambivalent towards Anna, because her family really irked me. I do find that Hoang’s writing is truly heartfelt, and allowed readers some insight into what it feels like to be diagnosed with ASD at a later stage. Eye-opening.
