I really liked Book Lovers and I think Emily Henry accidentally wrote autistic characters. Beach Read is fun but damn these characters are so neurotypical they read so much into everything which I think is also because they’re authors but also like girl he got an important phone call at a bad time that doesn’t like completely negate the fact that he just confessed he’s had a crush on you since college like sheesh chill out. Also it’s so interesting just seeing how very very differently they think about sex compared to me
