I didn't want this novella to end, Reggie and Gus are the cutest couple!!!! I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
Probably my favorite of the series so far. This was SO CUTE.
4 stars Since I met Reggie in earlier books in this series, I've been dying for her story. I'm glad I finally made time to read this novella. Reggie is a twin. She's the smart twin, the successful twin, the twin with direction. Reggie also suffers from insomnia and the only cure is this particular guys voice. Gus is a super smart guy who is great at puzzles. He used to have a channel that Reggie listened to but now it's no more. She needs his voice. After they talk some, he realizes he needs her...
I have literally never disliked anything by Alyssa Cole and this continues the trend. The representation her is amazing. Black woman, Vietnamese-American man, both neurodiverse and she in a wheelchair. Alyssa does a fabulous job of challenging stereotypes against disabled and neurodiverse people, all while creating this incredible, sexy, amazing love story. I don't know how she does it but I hope she never stops.
Thanks to Agla for this rec!! 💜❤This was so sweet and lovely, it was short that's my only complaint, but what the author wrote was real and swoon worthy. I loved both characters, how they were unique in their own ways and how they complemented/accepted each other. I admired how Reggie fought for her independence no matter what, I take my crown off for you gurl. 👑👐🏻The worldbuilding was small but done well and it was interesting to see how everything mixed. Anyways, to sum it up:"but everything t...
This one was soooooo good. I didn't read all the other books yet but I'm going back now and reading them!
PERFECTION AS ALWAYS
My favorite of this series! I loved the geekdom and the whole set up between these characters (internet crush). Gus is such a considerate love interest! I wish this had been a full length novel. <3 <3
My Rating: 4.5 StarsShe's a nerd. With glasses. In a wheelchair. He is an escape room creator, among other things, including having a live stream where she was his only follower. Who are they? Regina Hobbs and Gustave Nguyen. They met online years ago, and will soon meet in person.Reggie is a successful businesswoman and she runs Girls with Glasses. Currently she is over-stressed and is coping with insomnia. Reggie has been attending Gus's live streams and realizes that only his voice can relax
Before ReadingHi. I'm a nerd with glasses who uses a wheelchair. Reggie is basically me, but with a successful career. *Heart eyes*GIVE. THIS. TO. ME. ASAP!After ReadingIt's so tempting to rate this 4 stars on principle alone, because THE REPRESENTATION OF MARGINALIZED GROUPS IN FICTION MATTERS!!! I loved that Reggie owned her disability. I loved that Cole showed readers a successful disabled woman, particularly because she wasn't rendered as inspiration porn, merely a smart, hard-working pe...
I've had fairly middling to low ratings for this series upto this point but this novella? Was so sweet, so swoony, so lovely, so adorable. More of this in book three, I hope!3.75 stars
***3 Stars***This was...nice. I guess that's the overall feeling I have after finishing the book. I really liked Reggie and Gus together...but I didn't feel any passion between them. I didn't get that spark and sizzle.Their banter and awkward flirting was adorable, and the slow burn was just the right pace. I like how they both respected each other's interests and understood what it's like to geek out over things. There's something special about bonding with someone about your nerdiness. I absol...
3.5 starsI really wish this was a full length novel there’s so many amazing elements here and I adored Reggie. I really like Gus and their relationship and the discussion of fandom and nerd spaces and inclusivity. I loved reading about two neurodiverse poc in a romance novel. I loved seeing a disabled black woman be written as strong, self sufficient and she doesn’t need saving or fixing. There was so much here to enjoy but it was so surface level, the development coming at breakneck pace and it...
My nerdy disabled heart loved this!
Read as an e-book on Scribd!Alyssa Cole has done it once again. A beautifully written romance with disability representation and neurodiverse characters. It was a fun, quick read following main character Reggie, who is in a wheelchair but is a motivated woman who runs a website for geeky women called Girls With Glasses. She used to interact online with a guy called Gus, who now designs escape rooms. A chance encounter via emails brings the two of them together, in nerdiness and harmony. At the t...
So refreshing!I loved Reggie and Gus’ story! First of all it’s a multicultural romance and that’s always a win in my book. Reggie, the heroine was in a wheel chair and is a very successful business woman. She is very on top of her game, but missing one thing that everyone around her assumed she didn’t need...love. Gus was an escape room designer for lack of a better word and a very handsome Asian man whose “voice” put Reggie to sleep every night. Who knew that love was knocking at their door and...
3.5/5Cute. While it feels a bit rushed, I enjoyed this adorable story. The two had enough chemistry for a full novel.C'est la vie.
