I probably would've walked right by this book in a bookstore. I don't read much romance or chicklit, so the cover and title wouldn't have caught my immediate interest. And I would've missed a great story!

Be aware that this story contains graphic sex and language. If that offends or bothers you, this book definitely isn't for you.

The story alternates between Stella's and Michael's points of view. Stella is autistic, and the author's own history with autism adds tremendous insight into this difference in perspective. Michael is the slightly damaged bad boy you can't help but love. I enjoyed spending time with and getting to know these characters. They're definitely memorable, and will stick with me.

Humor abounds in this story. That and the unique spin on a romance tale were my favorite aspects.

The plot offers a few little twists, but for the most part is predictable in the way of chicklit. For me, the sexual content became too repetitive by midway, veering more into erotica and diminishing the romance aspect. The relationship's focus is most definitely sex, even as the couple evolves and they get to know one another. If you're looking for a steamy read, this one should definitely do the trick!
