Really enjoyed this story which tackles big themes of neurodiversity, bereavement and the ethics of AI. My favourite Elle McNicholl story so far, probably because I’m a sci-fi fan.

Oh my god wow. I finished A Kind of Spark and was keen on reading more of Elles work and picked this up next. I wasn’t really sure what to expect and I didn’t read into the synopsis to know what I was in for. 

not sure how much or what will end up being spoiled ahead, but using the tags for safety. At first I loved that the main character in this book was also autistic. I love seeing more autism representation in literature, especially positive. 

I was not prepared for what happened to Adrien. It wasn’t like a huge out of left field moment, but I still wasn’t expecting it to happen when it did. I’m so glad he made it out okay. Even if he didn’t, Cora grew so much from his accident that I feel like she’d matured enough to better handle his passing if she needed it. 

This book messed me up just as much as AKOS. Would highly recommend.

A brilliant story about accepting who you are, despite other people trying to "fix" you or limit you based on certain traits they say are "undesirable"
