Just boring, characters felt flat. I might pick it up again later because I really want to like it

I think a younger person would find more enjoyment in this book and relatability in the characters. As some with autism, the father felt a little stereotypical and flat to me— puzzles, bus schedules, frequent sensory meltdowns, estranged loved ones, etc.

Enjoyable read with nonbinary, queer and neurodivergent characters. I wish it was slightly longer, the ending seemed a little rushed.
