I loved Chloe and Red.  I loved Dani and Zaf.  Eve and Jacob, however, stole my heart.  Chloe and Dani's emotional wounds both stem from situations that happened after they had reached young adulthood.  For Eve and Jacob, however, their wounds have been there since childhood and were about a lot more than figuring out romantic relationships.  Just like Chloe's chronic illness, their neurodiversity is not ever going away and with their story, Eve and Jacob showed the rest of us that autistic people need acceptance, not just awareness.  I think I may have hugged this book when I finished reading it.
