5.0

I bought this book because I wanted to learn more about autism and knew Chloe as a autistic character and also a person with autism in real life from Heartbreak high. That's why I decided to buy and read that book which was a really good decision.

As someone who has some similar experiences is this book just inspiring. I can only recommend this book to everyone, it doesn't matter if you are neurodivergent or neurotypical or if you know or don't know someone neurodivergent. Just a wonderful book.

I have never read a book that has felt like me ever and I think this is a must read for anyone whether autistic or not. Chloe's raw emotions and stories really help me to empathise with them and with myself

hopeful reflective medium-paced

Please read the trigger warnings! I can't give this book a star rating just because I wasn't in the right mindset and it also wasn't what I expected. I was looking for more of a guide and less of a memoir.

Informative, hopeful, and compelling, if a bit roughly written. There’s a decent balance of memoir and advice bolstered with a bit of research. The fairytale/happy ending framework occasionally feels jarring, given the reality of what it means to be autistic in the world, but I like the optimism of it.

5.0

This book is amazing. It is honest, it is completely authentic and inspiring and super informative with anecdotes, facts and well presented and embedded statistics. It is everything any Autistic person, especially female and FAB person needs to read/hear. I have found that it has inspired, encouraged and helped me find the confidence to embrace who I am more and be radical, be different, just be me and I've already started to dress more aligned to how I really want to, what brings me joy and is genuinely an expression of me, rather than to appear *put together* or "mature" (I'm just 32 by a few days). I can't thank Chloe enough for her book, it's amazing and I'm trying to convince my husband to read it ☺️
