A college romance ends but ten years later the couple meet up again on accident. He is recently divorced, she has had a couple of other relationships but it soon seems like they need to explore things together again. All of this seems pretty straight forward and, frankly, not that interesting. But as we learn more about Annika, we figure out that she is someone "on the spectrum." The time frame of the novel puts this at a time when fewer are diagnosed and less is known. The roadblocks are there but mostly minimal. It is nice to see this handled adeptly. Ten years later, Annika has better coping strategies. Has she changed enough to make a difference or is this relationship doomed? The ending is gimmicky and unsatisfying. Despite some good points, this isn't something I would recommend highly.
