I feel like with Nita Prose's The Maid - there was this rise of books about "quirky" people who are probably on the spectrum but would never be officially diagnosed as such, which gives the author freedom to give their main characters a happy ending by allowing them to "overcome" some of their quirks.

Anyway, this was entertaining enough, but I found the main character never quite felt real to me, and the twist and confluence of events seem far too unrealistic for my taste.
