The last couple sentences of this book make it short of a 5 for me. Ruined the whole plot

This might be one of the worst books I have ever read. I kept waiting for some sort of redemption or explanation for the damaging comments about mental health and diagnoses, but the narrative remained consistent throughout. I only listened all the way through the audiobook with the hope that there was some explanation for the language.

I felt like the book was interesting but I really struggled with the mental health representation. I feel like it encouraged the narrative that those who are neurodiverse are “crazy” and off the wall. This is an unhelpful stereotype that further promotes isolation and not asking for help for those who may need it most.
