2020: Oooh this was steeeeamy!

Hoang wrote a fun and sexy story about a woman who just happens to be autistic. Hoang, who is on the spectrum herself, received some flack for letting her main character think that her string of bad luck with men was BECAUSE she was autistic. Personally, I felt like it was made pretty clear by the end that it's just because the men were trash, and the failed relationships were not Stella's fault at all.

In terms of plot...yeah, I really don't remember much of what was happening in the background of this story. The secondary characters are mostly all forgettable (although I believe they come back into play in the next couple of books in this series). Stella & Michael are both pretty well fleshed out (....pun somewhat intended) but all of the subplots are completely ignorable.

But none of that really matters. We are here for one thing and one thing only, and that is to GET IT ON, which these characters do with abandon. I was taken aback by how graphic things got (but who am I kidding, I also loved it), and how much there was of it. I still consider myself new to the romance genre, but there was A LOT. I'm thinking back to how Beach Read really made us wait for it; this was the OPPOSITE of that.

Overall, a great #ownvoices read. +2 for consensual sex while learning and growing together. -1 for having no idea what really happened in the rest of the book.
