not too sweet, not too bitter. i liked the openness of the ending, feeding the fire within the reader while not giving a fake sense of hope where there is none. the characters were diverse, powerful and really lovable. the AFAB autistic representation was really good although I wouldn't use the term Asperger's syndrome because of the nazist connotations and the problematic division of the autistic folks by 'high/low-functioning' labels which is harmful and affected the character quite a lot. a bit ironic to use these terms when talking about Erin who experienced pain due to them:/ 

but still i can call it a quick read perfect for my femininity struggles:)

This book.. was amazing. the writing is beautiful. it's a relatable book (unfortunately) with characters who are so diverse. this book is an inspirational tale of how people can stand up to discrimination and find themselves the way there. i would recommend this book to any person because they WILL find something valuable and a character to whom they relate. as an autistic girl who loves marine life, erin was such a relatable character and the way she was written made me feel heard. amazing read. the only comment i have is that after a few months, the themes are memorable, but the memory of reading it isn't as fond or impactful. if i were to read it again, the rating would surely move up.
