Please Don't Hug Me by Kay Kerr
Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.
I was interested in this book only because of the own voice autism rep. That part is good enough though it does feel a bit like Autism 101, as another reviewer mentioned.
The problem is, I'm too old for YA. And maybe it's not fair of me to say this, but I don't think this is a particularly good book. There is no style to speak of (am I asking for too much?), the MC feels way younger than 17, and I couldn't tell you much about her after reading 40% of the book, which is a problem, considering that it's written from her POV. There's no plot, which I usually don't mind, but it becomes a problem when the book is boring. Oh, and I guessed what happened to her brother in the first 10 pages, so I can't find any motivation to finish this.
Bottom line: decent autism rep, but not much else going for it.
