Rep: Disabled kid main character

I felt I could really connect to the characters particularly because it was an audiobook. I enjoyed the multiple POV and going over the same situation again with a different person. The ending was fairly predictable but also satisfying. Generally a feel good book but I did also cry at one point.

This book was adorable and wonderful and I teared up so many times but like happy tears for quite a few of them 😅 the characters are just so wonderful - and of course some of them are just awful but we don't want to focus on them. I laughed out loud so many times at these character's jokes! Such a good read with important messages!
