This is my favorite book in the series! I loved both the heroine and the hero being Autistic and being Autistic in different ways. It’s so refreshing to see authentic rep where we aren’t burdens to the people around us. Autistic people are also infantilized to hell so seeing us being sexy and loved was so amazing! Eve was a fucking delight to read about!! I will say, Talia Hibbert has been great about not using biological sex to describe gender in all of her previous books, although all of them had references to a known transphobic author. In EVE BROWN, we do not get the TERF references but we did get minor TERF language in the terms of biological sex. Another thing that made me uncomfortable was how often the car accident is joked about. I’ve mentioned my feelings on Hibbert and her writing of car accidents in both my other reviews so I won’t go into it again here. Overall, I really enjoyed this! EVE BROWN was by far my favorite storyline, although I don’t think Eve and Jacob are my favorite couple from this trilogy! 

CWs/Tws: Car crash (major: on-page and continually referenced), TERF language (minor).
