5.0

I devoured this book. The writing is just so good and brings the emotions, thoughts and personality of all characters to life so well. This is incredible especially considering it's a short book (~160 pages).

The exploration of what is "normal" in society and how it is self-policied is explored brilliantly. The comparison of social behaviours between Keiko and their friends/family

(i.e. the same but seen differently)

is done so well, too.

As someone who is neurodiverse, this exploration of societal norms and expectations was so relatable. I also connected with Keiko who I have similar behaviours and thought patterns with. So intentional or not, it was nice to read a positive representation of neurodiversity.

I would highly recommend this perfect book to anyone.
