100% coding Maud as autistic, so many echolalia!! This was very sweet and very sad, but like the other book by this author, very much focusing on the intersection between gender and class, ignoring race completely

It happens “offstage”, but a female character who is unable to give informed consent is taken advantage of by a man.

beingsimba's review against another edition

emotional hopeful sad

5.0

Not a type of book I would normally read but I'm so glad I did. Full of love without being saccharin, sad but not without hope. The appreciation for books and the written word are apparent (which was what sold it to me in the first place) and the cast of characters (primary and secondary) felt so strong. I'm not sure this will be one I ever revisit, but I so thoroughly enjoyed listening to it in the moment.
