This is arguably one of the quirkier YA contemporary romances I’ve indulged in before, and I’m still toeing the line between whether or not that’s a positive or negative.
But ultimately I did end up really enjoying it for the autism rep, the classic teen romance tone of the novel and some truly annoying but endearing characters. Think shades of From All the Boys I’ve Loved Before meets 10 Things I Hate About You but mostly based on vibes.
That first chapter though?
A fucking TRIAL to get through that I almost DNF’d.
It was worth it in the end.
