The blurb says it all perfectly, hence no need for my sum-up.I thought it very courageous to portray a main character with Aspergers. I also found it wonderful how her co-workers and friends supported Carrie, how they integrated her in their group and how respectfully they just accepted her in the way she was. However, I couldn't really "understand" how Carrie functioned, because there wasn't enough information on the syndrome. Yes, I know, an internet research would have helped and ebooks have these features at your fingertips but I believe that the author should have integrated this information somehow in the plot. This would have completed Carrie's character and given more depth to the story in general.Sebastian was an interesting character with an even more interesting private life, which should have been much more "used" in the plot line. I considered it very challenging that this "predator" fell in love with a more innocent woman. However, as described in the book, the feelings he had for her were more towards falling in lust than falling in love. If not so, his emotional world should have been much more elaborated.The suspense part of the book was just bonus material, which didn't really offer anything. It was just the stage on which the personal interactions of the main and subcharacters took place. Nothing wrong with that but if so then the person centered part fell a bit short.The end was rewarding, although a bit abrupt. Sorry, expected much more.
