This book left me pondering for a while. I LOVED reading a perspective of a neurodivergent character and felt seen from that, but there were elements of the plot that seemed to focus on the MC’s suffering and differences in negative ways. While it is good that the bullying autistic people experience was highlighted, I hated that it was a plot point. Idk, it just made me feel uneasy. I liked Jasper as a character but he was dealt a shitty hand.
