Yes & I Love You
by Roni Loren
Trigger warnings: panic attack, anxiety
I love nothing more than a romance book teaching me something new. Last time it was, [b:The Right Swipe|39863092|The Right Swipe (Modern Love, #1)|Alisha Rai|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1564550901l/39863092._SY75_.jpg|61659253] by Alisha Rai that taught me about CTE, and this time it is Tourette syndrome in Y&IL. Listening to this audiobook was a fantastic experience. The narrator, Desireé Ketchum, did a fabulous job, not just with Hollyn's chapters but with Jasper chapters too.
Hollyn is a blogger and writes a popular entertainment review column under the name Miz Poppy. She is living her life with Tourettes and social interactions are a big challenge for her. Jasper is the new coffee guy at Workaround and he does improv shows with his group. Coming out of a messy relationship, he is now trying to take his life on the right path. When Holly's boss asks her to do video columns moving forward, Jasper and she come to an arrangement to help each other.
Jasper and Hollyn’s first meeting was a disaster. But it was soon resolved when Jasper realises Hollyn's condition and doesn't make fun of her. He understood her because he too had ADHD. This character-driven plot has so much to offer - complicated protagonists, wonderful chemistry, sexual tension, workplace romance, lots of great sex, funny improv theatre group, unconditional support, fun banter and CONSENT! Not just for the girl but for the boy too. The support that Jasper and Hollyn provided each other was heartwarming to see.
Hollyn’s Tourettes has been portrayed beautifully, not as a disability but rather as a part of who she was. At the core, this story is about finding your place in the world despite the hurdles in your life that society considers to be 'abnormal'. Hollyn and Jasper’s friendship was amazing because of the way they were vulnerable to each other. And of course, the sex scenes were legit hot.
There is humour, emotions and heat - everything that you could ask for in a romance book.
Highly recommended.
