walkitoutI apparently bought this last September. My friend H. says she needs to start noting down who recommends books to her. I could say the same! But honestly, it hardly matters — I assess books in some detail even when recommended so it’s not really the recommender who gets the credit or blame anyway.
Small town romance between next door neighbors who share a super thin wall. She’s autistic, and he works for her ex’s dad. He cooks! She writes a web comic. She has a sister and a mom. He has a friend and a weakness for dying family members. The slow reveal on the situation with the ex is amazing. I’m _very_ used to stories in which the ex is evil, so _that_ part is not weird. I’m very used to stories in which friends and family of the person who is done wrong visit violence upon the person or property of the wrongdoer, so _that_ part is not weird. But this is so delightful, in that the world and the author are so entirely on the side of Use Your Words. I love it! There are more in the series, so if I run out of other things, or other things aren’t what I’m in the mood for, I’ll come back for more.
