This modern love story had all the elements of a classic romance with the added spice of some fairly graphic but enjoyable sex scenes.
Stella and Michael meet in seemingly unpromising circumstances, but it quickly becomes clear they are made for each other despite the obstacles they each perceive in the way of a long term relationship. There are misunderstandings, difficult encounters with family and rivals to be dealt with too, but through it all the fact that they love each other just as they are shines through.
The erotic scenes were handled confidently and I felt they were combined very successfully with the romance element because the lovers acted in such a caring way towards each other.
The portrayal of autism also felt authentic, based as it is on the author's experiences.
