The Heart Principle

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang, 338 pages

Violinist Anna Sun has been dealing with some serious artistic challenges recently, so much so that she's had to leave her job with an orchestra and delay a tour and record deal. Her longtime boyfriend hasn't really helped matters either, as he decides that they need to date some other people for a bit before settling down. Anna's not OK with that, but in the interest of keeping him happy, she agrees, and takes the opportunity to set up a one-night stand with tattooed biker Quan (who's also dealing with some complicated feelings toward dating since his bout with testicular cancer a few years earlier). Well, when the first attempt at a date fails disastrously, Anna and Quan agree to try again...and fail again. But they're both determined to have a one-night stand one of these attempts.

Much like The Charm Offensive (which I just blogged about before this and LOVED), this book brings a refreshing and compassionate look on neurodiversity, mental health, and self-realization. It's so nice to see these elements popping up in romance novels!
