Anna is very different from me, but I connected so strongly to her struggles. I loved how the author highlighted autism along with family expectations and the struggles of being a caregiver. I really thought all these things combined in a really impactful way. I loved Anna and Quan together. Quan's openness and patience are something I really gravitated to. I also liked how he struggled and had insecurities of his own after his illness and surgery. Even though the romance was not as much on the forefront, I thought the author did a great job incorporating it with the heaviness of the rest of the plot. Definitely check the trigger warnings, but it's a great one to pick up.
