This book took a lot out of me, and not just because of its strong content. I found the characters generally likeable, and their struggles made them seem very real and human. At times, it was hard to seperate their experience from the universal experience of being a young adult in high school. At the same time, it was truly representative and each character was complex. I think the pacing was a little bit off at times, and the resolution felt a little forced to me.

This book was absolutely amazing! The way the author handled the main characters autism and what happened to her was outstanding. I loved the development of the character friendships. This book had me emotional at time and I think this was the perfect book that touched on a real life issue that a lot of people can relate to.

The book was good, but it just didn’t pull me in the same way The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School did.

Ari and Shawni are such cutie patooties!!
