I really enjoyed this book. It follows Stella as she hires an escort to teach her intimacy and how to be in a relationship. They both know that this is a business transaction, and so they are not allowed to develop feelings for the other. They end up accidentally meeting each other's family, and the reader gets to watch each of them panic as they start to realize they've meseed up and brought feelings into this agreement.

This book has fantastic autistic representation. The way Stella's autism is represented on page does not feel like it is just there to add diversity, it feels authentic. She displays a lot of the traits that are common for autistic women but not as common for autistic men. The only thing critique about her autism is the use of the outdated term "Asperger's" in reference to her.
