Presented with the erudite words of a seemingly autistic woman, this book tells a story of realizing that you are worth it and you have value. Wonderful representation of the positive effects of therapy. Eleanor experienced a lot of pain but I am glad I got her story

4.0

This was the story of an autistic woman dealing with adulthood and reflecting on her past. The first half of the book is friendly and sweet. The second half takes on a darker tone, but I honestly got more out of it. The main character makes you grateful to not be normal and I laughed quite a bit.
