'How do I review a book that made me laugh and cry and ache because the emotions emanating from every page were so real and so honest?'
, is not the light, fluffy romance novel you may be expecting from Hoang. Rather, its impact is much deeper, exploring themes of"physical and mental illness, depression, anxiety, suicide, family conflict, sacrifice, unconditional love, and learning to speak up for what you want and who you love," per one #ReadWithMC reviewer.The book begins with main character, Anna, who's simultaneously struggling with her relationship and her career as a violinist.
I loved how the bond developed between Anna and Quan, which went beyond a casual fling. Their maturity was reflected when they acknowledged each other's insecurities and promised to be patient with each other. This book has more emotional depth than the spice which was seen in Hoang's previous books. I recommend everyone dig into⚡Storyline - 5/5🌟 P.S.
Anna is on the autism spectrum and is constantly analyzing others and the situation in order to determine how to respond. She can’t say no, she doesn’t want to let people down, and she doesn’t know how to stick up for herself. While I’m not on the spectrum, I related to Anna’s experiences so much. Her constant anxiety and need to be perfect, her unbearable need to please, and the constant worry about what others think.

I will read anything she writes and I mean anything. If this woman wrote a children’s book, I’d buy and read that too.was recommended by a friend a few years ago and I loved it.
Which brings me to my second point: the love story. Oh my god 😫😫 it was perfect. The development of their love was flawless. Not rushed, but not a slow-burn. Absolutely perfect 😻 also, never a bad thing then when a book has some spice, which this book definitely has!!! This is my first read by Helen Hoang and I am looking forward to reading her other two books. I had no idea Hoang was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder until my curiosity about the main characters in her books led me to read more about her. I love that Hoang shows this perspective through her main characters, including the fact that autism sometimes goes unnoticed with girls. I found this to be great insight showing the audience that autism looks different with everyone.
Our two main characters, Anna and Quan, meet when Anna’s boyfriend decides he wants to try an open relationship before officially settling down with Anna. This leads Anna to pursue a one-night stand just to prove that she can. However, it turns out keeping a one-night stand to just ONE night is more difficult than Anna anticipated.
