4.0

Charming in its own right, and the way the relationship is fleshed out doesn't feel very allosexual/alloromantic (this from a westerner's perspective so, grain of salt). The relationship and how it flourishes echoed my own aspec experiences (which makes me think about my own identity and experiences of love and how that would be experienced in a different culture), if in a roundabout way, and the portrayal of the thought patterns one has from a wealth of trauma is pretty realistic from where I'm sitting. Despite the dark themes explored, if you're looking for a book where Love Triumphs, look no further. I'll be reading the rest, I think.
