This book was A LOT.
It talks about autism and ableism and the discrimination we -autistic people- face and a lot of other related things.
This book is complex. And spot on. And I loved it.
I definitively recommend that you read it if you are autistic. And if you are not, you should also definitively read it (but not for the same reason).
We, autistic people, don't get a lot of representation in media and in books. And when we do, we often get the stereotypical representation of us.
But in this book? I felt seen. Seen like I never felt seen before in a work of fiction. Hoshi is one of "my people" and this goes without a shadow of a doubt.
I should warn you though, reader. There is A LOT of things in this book. And if you don't know all that much about autism, and if you don't know all that much about the discrimination we face, you might not be able to "see" everything at the first read. And that's okay, you don't need to. You will enjoy the story even without that. It will just make a second read all that more pleasant. Because you will be able to understand and see things that you hadn't during your first read.
So to everyone out there I say: read this book. And be ready to assimilate it, because it's gonna be a lot.
