"A woman struggling with burnout learns to embrace the unexpected- and the man she enlists to help her- in this New York Time bestselling romance by Helen Hoang.
When a violinist Anna Sun accidentally achieves career success with a viral YouTube video, she finds herself incapacitated and burned out from her attempts to replicate that moment. And when her longtime boyfriend announces he wants an open relationship before making a final commitment, hurt and angry Anna decides that if he wants an open relationship, then she does, too. Translation: She's going to embark on a string of one-night stands. The more unacceptable the men, the better.
That's where tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep comes in. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second, and their third, because being with Quan is more than sex- he accepts Anna on an unconditional level that she herself has just started to understand. However, when tragedy strikes Anna's family she takes on a role that she is ill-suited for until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves."
My Rating: 3.75/5
I really liked that this series worked along with our main character getting diagnosed with autism and finding who she is in a world where she doesn't have to mask. Also watching her find a partner, not just someone who treats her like trash was amazing. I loved seeing Quan become a man who is ready for more than a casual hook up. This book was also about grief, loss and extreme life changes. This isn't what I wanted from a romance personally and that's why I took it down a bit for a rating.
Thanks for reading,
