When My Heart Joins the Thousand
by A.J. Steiger
This was a book I had never heard of before. I found it on Goodreads to fulfill a Facebook Bingo Prompt. Upon reading the description I knew my heartstrings were going to be pulled.
I'm familiar with autism but this book is written completely in the mindset of Alvie. Her abruptness and straightforwardness are refreshing, even though it can be very uncomfortable. I hated reading about how she was treated at her job at the zoo. When she's fired and disconnects from Stanley, she hits a low point that was hard to read. I would have been better off breaking this up into parts, rather than the binge that I did. This is definitely a book I would recommend to anyone needing to understand how autism works, or anyone needing to see through the eyes of someone with autism.
