Pretty cute, funny, even if the ending is predictable. Says the aromantic reader.
An enjoyable romantic drama involving a non-neurotypical man, a woman with family baggage, and a slew of colorful characters swabbed for their DNA, sometimes against their will. Not too sciency, but not too inaccurate either.
so sweet, even some parallels with life of panda. what will happen on my 40th birthday? ;)
