Another stunning read from Lisa Genova, and an excellent inside and perspective on Autism.

Sadly didn’t love this one quite as much as the other Lisa Genova books! Main focus in this one was autism which is honestly one of my biggest fears as a prospective parent. I was hoping it gave a little more of the day to day insight but it was more about the two ladies’ lives at this point in time. Although it’s still one of my biggest fears, especially non-verbal forms, the author’s note and epilogue gave a good perspective that we are all humans and on the spectrum in one way or another.

I don’t often read passages of a book out loud but the explanation of the different “rooms” in Anthony’s brain was so good I had to share it with my boyfriend. Another good read by Lisa Genova!
