Wow. This book is phenomenal. Just wow. I think everyone should read this— especially those who've struggled with feeling different— but really everyone. I rarely read contemporary, but this book just felt important, so I finally got around to reading it and I'm so so glad I did.

Brilliant Book detailing autistic experience I just wish it didn't focus so much of masking and emphasised more the need to unmask however I do feel like it is somewhat covered by towards the end by identifying the problems masking can have on an autistic person.

A quick read, and I loved the interweaving of history, ownvoices, and ASD.

Devoured it in one day. Absolutely enjoyed it and really related to the main character and her older sister.
