I absolutely LOVED this book. I love the all the representation in this book. From being a self-diagnosed autistic to

non-binary

representation. When I read this, I could truly see myself in all of the characters and their flaws and their thought processes (not Luis and his gang thought, of course). The way that panic attacks and autistic shut downs are portrayed in this book are so accurate, and the feelings that you go through after being sexually assaulted. All in all, this book just made my little queer autistic heart SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy.

The Luis Ortega Survival Club is such an important book. Please read the trigger warnings before reading this one, there were so many moments I just wished I could hug one of these characters. Sonora did a fantastic job of bringing a group of mistreated young women in to grieve, grow, and support one another during such a hurtful time. This book was so delicate and advocative, I had never felt as proud of a group of fictional characters before.

Autistic rep? Yes. Queer rep? Yes!! 
I really loved how much thought was put into this book and how much Love was obviously put into the character of Ariana. I love that she didn’t immediately label her incident with Luis and how it took her time to sort through her feelings, because that is very realistic. This was really well done and I really appreciated it as a survivor of sexual assault
