  Andrew didn’t realize he might be autistic until his girlfriend, Michelle, approached him about it months into their relationship. No amount of life experience could’ve prepared Michelle for the confusion she felt while dating Andrew, as he was unlike any man she had ever dated before. The thought never dawned on her that she could fall deeply in love with a man who was autistic or that he might be unaware of this, even into his thirties. 
   Whenever they share their story, they are asked the same three questions: 
   How did you figure out Andrew was autistic? 
   How did you approach him about it? 
   How did you get a diagnosis? 
  These are all fair questions and have interesting and often comedic answers. In this compelling book, Michelle and Andrew answer these questions and share much more. 
  You will follow along as their friendship unexpectedly blossoms into a relationship. You will see love flourish among ridiculous twists and turns. They bring you along for the autism diagnosis that allowed them to grow a deeper understanding of each other. 
  Andrew’s contributions to this book are invaluable as they give insight as to what life is like to be him. Michelle’s humor and authenticity are both unexpected and refreshing. 
  Come along on this outrageous journey of friendship turned to love on the spectrum. 
   “You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll see numerous people you are close to through a whole new lens! This book is a must-read for people of all ages and walks of life.” (Teresa de Grosbois, number one international best-selling author of Mass Influence)

  Easy Money - American Puritans...

  A sweeping history of the American invention of modern money. 
  Economists endlessly debate the nature of legal tender monetary systems—coins and bills issued by a government or other authority. Yet the origins of these currencies have received little attention. 
  Dror Goldberg tells the story of modern money in North America through the Massachusetts colony during the seventeenth century. As the young settlement transitioned to self-governance and its economy grew, the need to formalize a smooth exchange emerged. Printing local money followed. 
  Easy Money illustrates how colonists invented contemporary currency by shifting its foundation from intrinsically valuable goods—such as silver—to the taxation of the state. Goldberg traces how this structure grew into a worldwide system in which, monetarily, we are all Massachusetts. Weaving economics, law, and American history, Easy Money is a new touchstone in the story of monetary systems.

  A gripping new history of London during the Blackout—revealing the violent crime that spread across the capital under the cover of darkness 
   
   
   
  Fear was the unacknowledged specter haunting the streets of London during the Second World War; fear not only of death from the German bombers circling above, but of violence at the hands of fellow Londoners in the streets below. Mass displacement, the anonymity of shelters, and the bomb-scarred landscape offered unprecedented opportunities for violent crime. 
   
   
   
  In this absorbing, sometimes shocking account, Amy Helen Bell uncovers the hidden stories of murder and violence that were rife in wartime London. Bell moves through the city, examining the crimes in their various locations, from domestic violence in the home to robberies in the blacked-out streets and fights in pubs and clubs. She reveals the experiences of women, children, and the elderly, and focuses on the lives of the victims, as well as their deaths. 
   
   
   
  This groundbreaking study transforms our understanding of the ways in which war made people vulnerable—not just to the enemy, but to each other.
