a quick and fast-paced read, with great autistic rep. this book raises my awareness about asperger’s syndrome and it was eye-opening to perceive everyday life from the lens of people with asperger’s syndrome (stella). 

i adore michael’s mẹ (mother), i teared up at one of the scenes because mẹ is a wonderful human being and i wish i could hug her.

there are some instances where i think a meaningful conversation could develop the chemistry and connection between stella and michael (so it doesn’t just revolve around them on the bed), but i do also understand that maybe that’s the point of their miscommunication etc.
