I absolutely inhaled this book in one day on accident.
The author is able to convey the heartbreaking emotions of other people from the lens of an autistic person who cannot understand the minutiae of emotions in an amazing way. I also appreciate that neurodivergence isn't shown to be "bad" and the main character isn't infantilized due to his autism. It's a phenomenal story told impeccably well.
