Wow. I don't really know what to say. This was absolutely beautiful and had me to tears. I started it for the autism rep and didn't know much about it. Now I think I have a new addition to my list of all time favorites. This book is important and I'm glad I read it.

4.25

Official content warnings: Bullying, Rape (aftermath, not on-page), Sexual assault (a slap on the butt), sexual harassment

It says aftermath not on page, but I felt like the memories were pretty graphic. I’d also add PTSD. 

I really did enjoy this book. I loved the main character and the found family and all. 

It just felt a bit too short despite being a pretty average length. I wish that we had gotten to spend a bit more time with Ari’s parents, and some of the ending felt a bit rushed. 

(I still really enjoyed this book! It’s just easier to write about negatives than positives)

This book was absolutely beautiful. The characters were all written beautifully and I saw parts of myself in each one of them. The experience of being neurodivergent, queer, and a victim of sexual assault were all represented so beautifully. I truly felt more seen in this book than many of the other books I have read with similar concepts. Panic and shutdowns are dealt with so well in this book. It truly helped me feel less alone in my experience and story.

This is the YA revenge fic I needed. Wish all the real life SA stories ended in such a satisfying way. Queer and neurodivergent POC  characters kick ass.
