i was in love with the neurodivergent representation given to the main character, stella. i have autism myself and the author helen hoang described what having autism is like perfectly. i truly wanted to give this book five stars but the smut scenes in the book made me uncomfortable, it felt awkward and weirdly written. the relationship with michael felt to much like a love at first sight trope, as the story developed and we saw him understand and connect with stella i started to grow more fond of him but i wish some aspects felt more realistic.
