I absolutely LOVED this book. I love the all the representation in this book. From being a self-diagnosed autistic to non-binary representation. When I read this, I could truly see myself in all of the characters and their flaws and their thought processes (not Luis and his gang thought, of course). The way that panic attacks and autistic shut downs are portrayed in this book are so accurate, and the feelings that you go through after being sexually assaulted. All in all, this book just made my little queer autistic heart SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy.
