I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I know some said it was inconsistent, but I find that, as a neurodivergent person, I can see how her seemingly very shifting rules don't shift as much as they seem to do to some people. I know that certain rules in my mind are different than how a "normal" person may have their rules. And once you get to the end it all makes sense, at least to me.
I didn't guess the killer, though I guess another one of the "plot twists" (the one with her grandmother.)
Narrator Rating: 3.5 stars
She did a decent job but for most of the book she had kind of pout to her voice which was childlike and annoying for a 20-something woman.

Also not gonna lie, I thought this was set in England for the longest time while reading. It gives British vibes but then they talked about the Olive Garden lol. Still, cute.
Only 4.5 stars because I felt like
But would still recommend as it was an enjoyable read.

But the rest the read was a bit off-putting because the author is neurotypical, and I wasn't sure if she was doing a service or disservice to the autistic community. The author took inspiration from when she taught special needs children, but honestly I just read 'Yellowface'and I hope a sensitivity expert was involved...
