Iâm not a romance reader as much anymore but I WILL read a romance with a neurodivergent MC đ love this list! đđť
Yay!! I hope you find some you like! I am trying to pull them from as many romance tropes/subgenres as possible so everyone can find potential new reads!
This is a beautiful list đ
You are so sweet, thank you so much! I have been collecting these books for a while but also selfishly hoping people have suggestions so I can read more ND romance!
