If you keep in mind that I had to read this for school, my five star rating is almost world changing. But here we are, and I really honestly enjoyed this book. I really like how the author managed to explain Christopher’s thoughts to the reader so that they seemed logical. I feel like now when I might meet people that are similar to Christopher, maybe I can understand them a little better. I love reading books that teach me something new or give me insight on a character with experiences totally different from mine. That is one of the reasons why I enjoyed this book so much. The messiness that mirrored Christopher’s thoughts and the math problems that I did not understand but that were still an important part are some of the things that make this books so genius. Thanks for writing this and for giving me the chance to expand my horizon.

The trigger warnings are from an autistic perspective so while still can be upsetting these have a uniquely informative perspective, less emotional upset and more logical analysis of situations and disgust at things that trigger the narrator, and there narrator's response to being upset.
