This memoir suffered by comparison to the memoir I read immediately before it, but even on its own, this was…not great? It feels like a series of disconnected ramblings about a variety of topics with only occasional gestures toward a larger point about autism, ableism, bullying, or depression. The poetry is quite good; the rest of the book had a few bright spots but on the whole it was just kind of a mess.
It feels like the author wasn’t quite ready to write some of it yet—there are references to experiences and topics that the writing then pulls away from or never addresses fully.
