This book handled a neurodivergent female weed with care and grace. Ellen feels she doesn't fit in anywhere. She does her job as an editor well and comes home to her cat, Mouse, but feels she can't keep any meaningful relationships.. Friends or dating wise.

She gets drunk in a bar on her 21st birthday and has to be helped home by Hayes who owns the bar. 5 years later they meet again and he recognizes her right away but she has to be reminded.

I love these two. They are both a little "weird" And Hayes is possibly the sweetest, most understanding man ever! I like the way he cares for Ellen without babying her.
