emotional slow-paced

Loved this one. Willow is a unique individual & has a voice that pulled me in and wouldn't let me go. There were so many interesting characters. It made me laugh and cry and throw a sticky note party all over the pages.

I enjoyed the accurate depiction of the grief process and of a main character (presumably) on the autism spectrum, and really liked every supporting character except for Dell Duke, who I disliked more than any other character in recent memory and honestly ruined most of the experience for me. I might have liked him a little better if he had had any profession besides being a middle school counselor, but his bafflingly unethical practices and my angry bewilderment as to how he ever got properly licensed in the first place, much less kept his licensure/job, made me want stop reading almost every time he was on the page.
(Why did he choose never to alert the school that Willow was not a cheater? I’m still confused and concerned about that.)

A capturing tale of a neurodivergent kid whose desire for community turns into a gravitational pull. Quick read, great writing.
