Beautiful story... the best kind, the kind that leaves you with a brand new understanding of being human.
I didn't know anything about autism, clinical anxiety and severe depression when I picked up this book.
And now it's like I see the different shades of human... and it was eye opening, especially when the book also opens your eyes to 'real life' information such as "Carly's Cafe" on youtube that shows you what living with non-verbal autism is and Derek Paravicini a blind autistic man who is a musical savant on Ted Talk... And also just seeing the love between Emmet and Jeremey, and the way they navigate their relationship with their particular road blocks.
This book shifted my perspective, and that is the magical power of a novel with a well thought out theme and moral message.
