I really enjoyed this book. Preston is a cinnamon roll of a librarian who people perceive as grumpy due to his autistic traits. He is the guardian for his younger sister who is also autistic. Harmony is a high energy, sunshine con artist who arrives in Preston's town ready and eager to take down the town's mayor who cheated her dad out of millions.

I love that the author took great care to represent Preston and Lacey as whole people whose personalities and traits extend beyond the stereotypical characteristics people expect of autistic folks.
