As a single guy with autism myself, I was excited to dive into Hooked and follow Shawn’s journey to find love and connection in NYC. This rom-com earns 4 stars from me for its relatable characters and thoughtful themes.
I really appreciated seeing an autistic protagonist navigate the perplexing world of dating. Shawn’s quirks, honesty, and open heart made him easy to root for. His dating struggles definitely felt familiar!
Violet also grows into a sympathetic character as you learn of her hopes for a fresh future. Though an unlikely match, seeing their bond develop gives the story real heart.
While I felt the title and cover art could be improved, the movie adaptation’s name Sounds of Violet fits the vibe better.
Overall, Hooked tells a poignant story celebrating neurodiverse perspectives in an empathetic way.
For a charming tale of connection that sheds light on autism in dating, Hooked hits the mark. I look forward to more inclusive rom-coms ahead!
