Riley Monroe, a fiercely creative and unapologetically nonbinary autistic college student, never expected their first semester at Briarwood North Eastern University to lead them to Oliver Hayes-a guarded, sharp-witted, and deeply introspective autistic classmate still wrestling with the weight of his past. Both navigating the challenges of neurodivergence, family expectations, and scars from past relationships, they find solace and understanding in each other as their bond deepens from friendship into something more. Set against the backdrop of late-night Dungeons & Dragons sessions, campus life, and moments of quiet vulnerability, Parallel Hearts is a slow-burn romance that celebrates the complexities of autistic love, the beauty of breaking free from societal molds, and the transformative power of trust. As Riley and Oliver explore unspoken desires, confront the ghosts of their pasts, and learn to communicate their needs, they discover that love isn't about fitting into a perfect picture-it's about creating one together.
