I don't read much romance, and this book was on a list of "Romantic books for people who don't normally read ..."At least me it was much more folktale like. For instance, Celia's father's name Prospero the Enchanter. Prospero comes from Shakespeare's the Tempest.
Also, there are a lot of characters I did make this list if it helps anyone.

I adore this book. The art is amazing and honestly a great family book too. a lot of families are mixed and not all siblings look alike. I love how it deals with that.A must read of 2020.

Book #2 is so good, but for different reasons!!! Not only do you get the perspective of autism but additionally in the second book, you get culture thrown in as well.
I'd like to start with the fact that she is a wonderful and amazing woman; however, I struggled with this book. The tone and pace of the book s very monotone and slow. I had nothing really driving me though this book. It was great to read about her, but I felt like I was sitting though a lecture.
