Stop everything! I’ve officially fallen in love with Alice and Taylor. I’m just waiting for an invitation to move in with them—but I’ll be bringing a +1 and a dog. 
 
I wish everyone could find a partner as caring and wholesome as Taylor. He’s just perfect—even in his imperfections—and you can’t even be jealous of Alice, because she’s just as lovely as he is. I have rarely read a story where a couple works so well together. There’s being meant for each other, and there’s Alice and Taylor. 
 
Living with someone with ADHD, I quickly recognised the signs in Alice, and often there’s no one better than a neurodivergent person to recognise another neurodivergent person. I also really liked the way Taylor’s autism was portrayed. You can see that he has learnt a lot of mechanisms to live with it as ‘simply’ as possible. However, what I liked most was Alice’s understanding of the difficulties he faces because of his autism, which is not obvious to everyone. 
 
In short, I love them with all my heart, and now I can’t wait to discover Sven when the book comes out.
