This is clearly a book written during the pandemic. It’s escapist, and Eve is extremely lovely.
I am so glad about the neuroatypical representation and the Brown family reunion. And this book is definitely someone else’s 5 stars. The romance was just a tad fast for me, and Jacob is more controlling (in a consensual way) than I like. I also just don’t do pet names.
But!! Eve. God I wish to be friends with Eve. And the playlist rocked.

Content Warnings
Minor: Bullying
Eve is sometimes talked down to, but the author handles this with care. Read her content warning: “ This book mentions childhood neglect and anti-autistic ableism. If these topics are sensitive for you, please read with care. (And feel safe in the knowledge that joy triumphs in the end.) You should also know that, while writing this book, I elected to ignore the existence of COVID-19. I hope this book provides some form of escape.”
