"She's only seeing the outside of you, not the inside. She's only looking at what makes you different and not what makes you special." 
 Love lessons by Cullinan was a lot more light hearted, and while I must admit that I wasn't expecting something quite so heavy - I loved this one! 
 I'll be honest and admit that I don't know all that much about autism, but from what I have read since being exposed to this book, Cullinan has done her research well and created a very realistic autistic character who is impossible not to adore. 
 She does not hide the hard truths regarding their difficulties, does not romanticize it and make it all sunshine and rainbows. She made it real, and something to deal with instead of shy away from. 
 Jeremey's parents horrified me quite a bit. 
 "She sees safety in normal. But remember normal doesn't mean right. It means average. Conforming. Why would you want to do that?" 
 It was a sweet romance, and I loved the love and support some of the adults in the story supplied. 
 "There is no normal, not really. Not a right and a wrong way to be. But there is belonging."
