The male and female leads in the story were interesting and the ending was believable and made sense for the characters. The story is told from both the perspectives of Angie and Jace. Angie is an American living in Australia whose visa is about to expire. Her best shot at getting it renewed is to get married to an Australian local. Jace is her landlord and a professional comic book artist. Jace and Angie are clearly attracted to each other, but Jace is socially awkward and doesn't openly express his feelings to Angie, and Angie doesn't seriously consider Jace as a love interest because she thinks he is indifferent. When Angie and Jace start spending more one-on-one time together he ends up helping her try to find a marriage partner. I appreciated that we got a glimpse into Angie's backstory and the reasons she moved in the first place. It helped give context to her insecurities and how her past influences her personality. We also get a backstory for Jace that does the same and explores his own insecurities about his autism and the aspects of his personality and life that are affected by this. 

There is a focus on family relations as well. Jace has a large family and has always felt like the odd one out, but his family is warm and loving. By the end of the story, Jace becomes more accepting of himself and also in a way more accepting of how his family expresses their love for him. As Jace and Angie become closer, she is also welcomed by his family. 

The romance between Jace and Angie occurs with a sort of time limit, but the problems they run into are realistic and handled well. Jace and Angie both become frustrated with each other because of the differences, but they learn to communicate about their insecurities and are able to overcome these issues. Overall, I liked the themes explored. It's not my favorite romance, but it was interesting to read.
