This is such a gem of a book. It was exactly what I needed. Throughout the book, I felt my heart grow to love the main character (I don't believe she was named) a little bit more with each page. It was a lovely portrait of neurodiversity. It was beautifully told and felt. It was full of love, hope and happiness in being who you truly are. I highly encourage others to read it. It was quirky, fun and lovable. And so, so much more.

Very unique book written by a neurodiverse author about a woman who goes to a party. This is an intimate look into this unnamed characters psyche and we experience this party and her interactions with the world. She covers topics such as femininity, ownership, grief, bodily autonomy, intimacy, and aboriginal rights with such awareness. As an autistic person myself this completely spoke to me and I’m so glad we have books like this to be able to make more people feel seen
