simonlorden 's review for:
A szerelem egyenlete
by Helen Hoang
Let me get this out of the way first: I don't know what's up with the quality of Hungarian translations lately, but this is at least the third book I read in Hungarian recently that was literally a struggle to get through. It's like the translator insisted on keeping the English sentence structures, even though they sound completely unnatural in Hungarian. It was so jarring and distracting that I could barely concentrate on the story. Ugh.
Anyway. I didn't count this towards the rating, so the 4 stars are entirely for the book by Helen Hoang, and not the translation.
This was a lovely M/F romance with an autistic woman and a Vietnamese man (#ownvoices for both I believe), with fake dating/practice relationship. I liked the personality and family quirks they both had, the portrayal of autism, and I liked how attentive Michael was.
Fair warning that it's very sex-heavy. I knew there were going to be sex scenes, and they were actually a pretty important part of the story and gave us a lot of info about the characters' personalities, but the amount still caught me off guard. (Especially since reading sex in my native language is still a big noooope, idk how English-speaking people do it.)
