This was not romance. It was women’s lit. It was excellently written, with her most developed main character to date, but it was heartbreaking and depressing. Unfortunately just not at all what I was signing up for in this series that has been insightful but fun so far. I do think this is an important story about autism and ableism, but it just wasn’t romance. I think putting it as the 3rd in this romance series honestly did the story injustice.
