3.0

I was a bit conflicted about this book - I really enjoyed it and thought it was well written, I love the voices of the characters and found the relationships in it so charming and real. But at the same time I wish it was written by someone who actually experiences this, and I feel like this is a bit of an idealized version of it. I would be interested in the opinion of this book from someone with this condition or something similar.
