Yes, yes, I know... QiRkY, but The Quirky Tale of April Hale by demonicblackcat is... amazing.
It's definitely not what you're thinking if you've never read this before, and the reason it's on my list is because we have a main character with Aspergers which is something I've never really seen on Wattpad.
Description: Self-proclaimed weirdo April Hale and the notorious troublemaker Ryder Black have been living side by side for more than ten years. Both never attempted to communicate with each other, but on the night Ryder Black is thrown out by his own father, he asks her a question that might change both of their lives:
"March, will you let me stay in your room?"
He even got her name wrong.

A coming of age story about loss, the wonders of falling in love, and ultimately, pretending to be normal. Get inside April's distorted and yet humorous perspective, and watch as her tale unfolds into a shocking finish.
Now I haven't read this in a while, so I don't really remember if there's much more diversity to it, but I think that the fact that April's Aspergers isn't romanticised and is actually portrayed really well earns it a spot here.
This book offers a lot of representation and breaks a lot of the stigma around Aspergers, and shows that people with the syndrome are still "normal", can still fall in love and can still be happy and live a good life.
I'd definitely give it a read if you have a chance!
If you want more people to be able to find this book and discover more amazing tales like April's then please make sure to vote and add it to your reading list!
