I liked that the MC had autism. Non-white female character with autism is not a perspective that I read often and I loved how her family and friends treated her like a normal teenager, supporting her when she needs help but also backing off and letting her be independent. I liked the way her thought process was laid out whenever the story developed and how her autism is a core part of her being without being infantilising or weird about a female MC with autism. Instead of it being a 'super power' or the worst thing to ever happen to her, she just lives. Disabled people are at high risk of being SAed especially because people don't think that they have (consensual) sex, or their disability means that they can't physically get away or that they are incredibly trusting (which people take advantage of).
I liked the respect of boundaries and autonomy.
I loved the friend group and how supportive they are of each other. I loved how
I'm glad Luis

This book was so healing for me. I was in an abusive relationship for around 5 years. And I was SA'd numerous times throughout. Ari's thoughts and feelings about hers are very similar to my own.
The Luis Ortega Survival Club was an excellent reminder for me that there was nothing I could have done differently. That what happened was NEVER my fault.
This was so empowering. It was nice seeing someone so horrible get exactly what they deserve.
Books like these are so important. I wish I had this growing up. I'm immensely grateful to the author for bringing this story into the world.
If you have your own Luis Ortega, I see you. You are not alone. It was never your fault. And I am sending you so much love.
