Featured review
I really enjoyed it!
Socially awkward people deserve love, too.
I'm not a psychologist, and we probably shouldn't get into "diagnosing" possible disorders, but we get right away the Juniper is at the very least cripplingly shy, maybe more. She's brilliant and has made a great career, and is a wanderer, who has no interest in settling down.
She did at one point fall for someone, her roommate Charlotte's brother. Sawyer. This happened years ago at Charlotte's wedding. As someone socially awkward might do, she wrote him about how deep her feelings were ... but he never wrote back.
Sawyer thinks he wrote back, telling Juniper he felt the same, but he never heard from her so he thinks she ghosted him. Sawyer may be more than a little ADHD, and it's rather a surprise that he has a fairly successful business. He's a nice guy, very helpful, but the only time he ever travelled something really bad happened, and now he always has excuses for staying put.
So things are awkward when Juniper comes to Mystic to temp for Charlotte, made more awkward by the main characters' respective social tendencies. Of course its a set up of the story that they have to spend this time together (that's what HCMs do!), but it all feels very real. I know these people. They are not the slick, social butterflies who shouldn't have a problem finding friends and love. They come together naturally, learning some things about themselves and each other, and I was very happy how it played out. Nice side story about Juniper connecting with Charlotte's probably ASD (although not stated) daughter.
