I checked this out from the library, but I just purchased a copy for my bookshelf. I, no joke, own less than 10 books. While this isn't the biggest "difference" highlighted in the book, the representation of a family with a neurodiverse child made me feel seen. I rarely reread books, but I will definitely revisit this one. 

I am so glad to have read this for a book club. I haven't been reaching for general fiction as much lately, so I wouldn't have read this otherwise.
