Nice but foregetable, chiefly because, behind the interesting presentation of the characters lurked no real depth. I like characters with characteristics on the autism spectrum, as the heroine has in this; however, for instance, the way she didn't know she had feelings felt way off to me. Folks on the spectrum have big feelings! If an author makes someone so emotionally un-intuitive that they can't recognize feelings (and, hey!, I recognize my younger self in that!) then there needs to be more of a back-story about why.
I can recommend the more nuanced neurodiverse characters created by Penny Reid, Fiona West, Chloe Liese, Talia Hibbert, Graeme Simsion, Helen Hoang.
