As a personal rule, I don't give star ratings to books that were 100% not written for me. This book is one of those.
HOWEVER, it was such a lovely, easy read. Great neurodivergent rep and it was a fab blend of story-telling and message-giving. Sometimes I find middle-grade and young YA books get SO preachy. While this absolutely was preachy, it was done in a way that made complete sense to the story and the characters... so I'm okay with it.
