4.5

Keiko very much reads as autistic and as someone who is neurodivergent it was absolutely delightful reading her narration and relating on a level I've never related to a character before. It's a quick read about Keiko navigating life as someone who does not fit the norm despite being perfectly content where she is. I think it is a great book if you're someone who struggles with family/societal expectations or "fitting in" in general.
