Review Quotes:
"Both a comforting, familiar story and an interesting twist on old rom-com tropes." --Buzzfeed
"Complex, compelling characters populate a satisfying romance." --Kirkus Review "Full of wit and literary charm, this work is a romantic and compassionate look at two of an infinity of autistic experiences that examines the effects of burnout and masking, and the beauty beyond the struggles of being autistic." --Booklist "McNicoll empathetically presents Allegra's struggles to fit in--whether because of her celebrity status or neurodivergence--across this honest tale about the brutal scrutiny of fame and self-perception, as well as a reassuring and cozy romance." --Publishers Weekly
