 Elle McNicoll is a supreme writer. I’m eighteen years old and I cried many many times while reading it.

I’ve never seen such a beautiful exploration of the fact that we are seen as our best when we seem the least autistic.

Cora and Adrien fulfil one of my favourite tropes ever (autistic-and-ADHD friendship), and are so perfectly written. There’s such a joyful celebration of ND kids in this book and it really gave me hope. Cora is what I wish I’d been at that age.

Thoroughly recommend.
