I really enjoyed this one!

Stella is a woman with autism who has been tasked with 'giving her parents grandchildren soon'.

Michael is an escort she hires to help her practise sex and dating so she can be ready for a relationship.

This one was a really sweet story of two people who were made for each other and how they overcome the personal obstacles they've put up in order to be together.

Michael is a very sweet character - I love seeing hot Asian male leads, I think it is so important to showcase that. His relationship with his mum and his sisters is wonderful to see, and he just feels like a walking green flag honestly.

I loved how complex Stella was - she didn't want to be defined by her autism and she challenges herself out of her comfort zone. It was great to see an autistic character that isn't treated like a child, but like the fully grown adult she is.
