This has become one of my favorite contemporary romances. Hoang created two incredibly unique/unconventional main characters that was so refreshing! Stella Lane has Asperger's and hires a professional escort, Michael Phan, to increase her experience in all things "intimacy". Those sessions were peak level STEAMY and I was immediately sucked into the plot line by chapter 2 and rushed to the finish. It was so sweet watching both MC's evolve into more than mentor and mentee. I really liked that Stella was a high earning STEAM career woman, and adored the unique inclusion of Vietnamese culture (especially the cooking!) with Michael's family. I really enjoyed Hoang's writing centering around Stella's autism and found her way of thinking and experiencing intimacy as enlightening; while I understand a fictional book can never fully represent an entire group, I really enjoyed learning more about Stella.
