Puzzles, nerdery ahoy, online friendship that blossoms into more, autistic mc, fabulous heroine who takes no shit, great chemistry, a couple who actually communicates...was this book written for me???
My only complaint is that it was a novella and thus by default moved too quickly for my tastes. I really wanted to delve deeper Gus and Reggie's relationship, as well as the characters themselves. But it was still terrific, and I'm very glad I didn't skip it (like I do most novellas).
Note: I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator was fantastic!
Also, 10/10 would watch that anime.
This was just the cutest thing, I loved it. Really loved the nerdy side of this one as well as the representation.
3.5 stars. A cute, quick novella featuring main characters with disabilities (her a wheelchair user, it's implied that he is on the autism spectrum) who fall in love over the internet and then in real life too. I didn't really feel like the Portia side-storyline was fleshed out enough to make sense to me (Can't Escape Love is kind of happening concurrently with Duke by Default as far as I can tell, and I haven't read Duke yet), and though the misunderstandings before the big HEA made sense for what was going on inside Gus' head, it felt rushed and I still don't like misunderstandings as the foil for the relationship. But yeah. Not mad at it by any means. :)
4,5★ sólidos!
2nd) it still good!!
1st) A autora escreve muito bem novellas e esse é o “problema”evidenciado na série. Nesse conto curto, o drama é reduzido, a resolução dos problemas em uma página não é corrido, e isso torna a estória redonda.
This one may in fact be my favorite of the series. I enjoyed reading it so much. This be in fact be the first time I've read a book with the main character in a wheelchair– I mean, how does that happen? Why aren't there more books out there rep'ing this population?
Anyhow, this book is pure geek love, super diverse, and features such a sweet little romance. These characters grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go.
Definitely worth the read, even if you haven't read the rest of the series.
Super low-conflict friends-to-lovers romance, works better if you've just read A Duke by Default, because a lot of the main character's family conflict is detailed and resolved in that book (which stars her sister). I like Reggie a lot but I felt like Gus could use more development. This is still a lot of fun, but read as a companion piece to Book #2.
