math genius) who doesn’t have a lot of sexual experience. Stella is an autistic, phenomenally successful econometrician (a.k.a. The author drew on her own experiences with autism to write a heartfelt book about a woman with autism, and the result was so winning I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Not only is this book well-written and free of cliches, but bonus: It’s an own-voices perspective-in other words, it’s a story with a diverse cast of characters written by a diverse author.

And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic.In the past, I have been that reader who thinks herself “above” the romance genre. Their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan-from foreplay to more-than-missionary position.īefore long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but crave all of the other things he's making her feel.

A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there's not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick.
