This book is deeply important, and I need more books with neurodiverse narrators

Update: Upon second reading, I may like this book even more, it has some complexity worth exploring a second time.
This was just a lovely little book, and even if one cannot relate to Christopher, they can gain a sense of what living in his world means. I did not know for sure how this book would go, but I can say it was a pleasant read that worked to place readers into a very different, often neglected space & body.

This book was difficult for me to get through. Originally I was extremely excited to start it. However, I found it disappointingly uninteresting. I understand the style it is in and what it was meant to say, but I did not enjoy this book.
