I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I know some said it was inconsistent, but I find that, as a neurodivergent person, I can see how her seemingly very shifting rules don't shift as much as they seem to do to some people. I know that certain rules in my mind are different than how a "normal" person may have their rules. And once you get to the end it all makes sense, at least to me.
I didn't guess the killer, though I guess another one of the "plot twists" (the one with her grandmother.)
Narrator Rating: 3.5 stars
She did a decent job but for most of the book she had kind of pout to her voice which was childlike and annoying for a 20-something woman.

Also not gonna lie, I thought this was set in England for the longest time while reading. It gives British vibes but then they talked about the Olive Garden lol. Still, cute.
Only 4.5 stars because I felt like
But would still recommend as it was an enjoyable read.

I will admit it isn’t my favourite book, my favourite book is Pride and Prejudice but I gave it a 5 stars because I don’t understand why people are so stingy with their ratings lol. It was interesting to read, I was never bored and many of the characters are likeable :).
I’m surprised by the number of people giving this book low ratings!! Most of them are saying autism is not portrayed correctly in the main character, but in my opinion there is not explicitly a right or wrong way. Autism is a spectrum and are there are countless types of autism, I am sure there are people who have similar thoughts to Molly - but if not, it is just a character and the author never explicitly mentioned autism.
EDIT: Changed my review from 5 stars to 4 stars because it’s not one of my favourite books and I haven’t thought of it, or the characters since, but now that I remember, I did love a lot of the characters so I’ve changed my mind and give it 4.75 stars lol.
