The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
CW: ableism and ableist language (challenged), panic attack, vomiting, alcohol, intoxication, mentions of anxiety, depression, OCD, intrusive thoughts, sexual content, and a depressive episode.
A sweet romance showing two queer, neurodivergent men - demisexual & gay - falling in love on a reality TV show. This had me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I was filled up with tears, smiling, and laughing as I read Dev and Charlie's love story. As a neurodivergent person and specifically someone with generalized & social anxiety, I wholeheartedly enjoyed the kindness each character showed to each other.
