I really enjoyed this book’s unique perspective. It was interesting to read this and see through Molly’s eyes how what may be “obvious” to some isn’t to others. It helped me see how oblivious I can be and how our legal system needs to help cater to those who aren’t neurotypical. 

Good story with a fun cast of characters. Slow at times and somewhat repetitive towards the end, but overall a great read.

I'll have to come back to review this one properly — still parsing all my feelings — but it's 3.5 stars from me for now.
