Very unique book written by a neurodiverse author about a woman who goes to a party. This is an intimate look into this unnamed characters psyche and we experience this party and her interactions with the world. She covers topics such as femininity, ownership, grief, bodily autonomy, intimacy, and aboriginal rights with such awareness. As an autistic person myself this completely spoke to me and I’m so glad we have books like this to be able to make more people feel seen
