I’m fascinated by this book. I have never read about characters such as these. There’s a lot of realistic scenes. There was a lot to look up related to the autism spectrum, kink and even Chanukah. It’s work to get through the book but I learned a lot.

Autistic, queer, kinky AND polyamorous main characters!!! (Plus trans and non-binary secondary side characters) Asdfghjkl it's rare to find a book that has one of these parts of me in a way that feels authentic,  and this book has handled them all beautifully! They are also Jewish which i enjoyed though cannot speak on authenticity.  I look forward to reading more from this author.
