I saw myself and my children in these pages and I am beyond grateful that this exists. Thank you Libby for sharing your experience with the world. :)

I really enjoyed this one. I liked the perspective of Tally as she tried to fit in while processing her autism diagnosis. I really enjoyed how she learned that autism isn't an excuse for doing something bad, but she also isn't bad because she struggles. Meltdowns are completely different than tantrums, and I enjoyed how that was included. I loved the horse aspect and the lessons about autism in that frame. I thought, including two other autistic examples for Tally to see the similarities and differences, was a nice touch as well.

This is a wonderful and believable prequel to Can You See Me. The diary entries were slightly different in this book, and Tally's personality and behaviour was different.
