It is no secret that I utterly adore this book. I think it is a masterpiece. The characters aren't perfect cookie cutter romance characters and that is what makes this book work. Stella and Michael are both dealing with their own issues and that's what makes their relationship work. They are able to help each other, while also helping themselves. Helen Hoang is such a wonderful author for being able to write in a way that conveys Stella is neurodivergent while in no way reducing her to stereotypes or misconceptions (if you are a fan of this I would definitely check out Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert!)
“If you can’t stand being with a woman who’s more successful than you, then leave her alone. She’s better off without you. If you actually love her, then know the value of that love and make it a promise. That is the only thing she needs from you.”
I just really love this book. It was fun, steamy, emotional...okay it's a little predictable, but its romance!
