Description

Stef is a woman who thrives on precision, routine, and a world that makes perfect sense. As a neurodivergent professional, she has built a life where every variable is accounted for, leaving little room for the chaotic unpredictability of other people. That is, until her carefully constructed equilibrium is disrupted by the arrival of a new colleague who operates in a rhythm entirely her own. What follows is an off-beat, hilarious, and deeply tender workplace romance that captures the beauty of finding connection in the most unexpected places. This is not your typical love story; it is a fresh, authentic exploration of how two people with different ways of processing the world can find common ground. Their chemistry is as endearing as it is offsetting, blending sharp wit with genuine compassion. As they navigate the complexities of their professional lives and the growing sparks between them, they learn that love does not require changing who you are. Instead, it invites you to find someone who understands your unique frequency. If you are looking for a heartfelt, funny, and beautifully human story that celebrates neurodiversity and the courage it takes to open your heart, this is a must-read.

Who knew? 6 levels to happiness.

This is such a wonderful, totally different and a bit off-beat love story. The characters are very well written and lovable with all their quirks and issues. Even though they approach their relationship from opposite views, it really works well. They totally get each other. Great secondary characters, lots of humor and low angst makes this an entertaining and enjoyable love story.

Interesting and entertaining in equally offsetting ways

Leveled is a fresh take on a classic love story. Both main characters are interesting and entertaining in equally offsetting ways. Stef is extremely structured (borderline compulsive) in her need to organize the progression of all thoughts and actions surrounding her love life. As she gets closer to love, Stef is supported by her system of levels and resolute in her scientific method, convinced it will yield the best possible results. Perse, on the other hand, seems to come undone at each level of falling in love as she is triggered by fear and anxieties of prior relationships. As she gets closer to love, and abandons the destructive structure anxiety has built around her heart, Perse is able to find true happiness. I saw myself and my relationships in both characters, and that was really fun as I wasn't sure how it was all going to turn out. This is what makes Leveled so authentic yet familiar yet thoroughly enjoyable. I definitely recommend this book, 5 stars!

An Interesting Take On The Dating Process!

I am a big fan of Serena J. Bishop. She has a special way of storytelling especially in the “Dreams Trilogy Books”. This was a little different. I wanted to understand the forwardness of Stef. Perse says she doesn’t want to date but that doesn’t stop Stef in preparing a pre signed HRA letter. Then after getting Perse to sign it, she is very hands on and touchy feely for someone who has layer out how the levels are to go, including the sex level. A lot of mixed signals coming out here. I also found that Stef’s Harry and then later mentioning Mei’s engagement to the head of the department, Harry was a very confusing point. I had to go back into the story and not finding what would clear this up. Now having said that, I started to appreciate the story when they finally were in a “relationship” and the sincerity of Stef and the acceptance of Stef for Perse and having their friends and Perse’s sister and family all involved in the story brought it to a nice conclusion. Not my favorite but worth the read.
