When My Heart Joins the Thousand by A.J. Steiger
5.0
I loved this book. I loved it so much. It was so beautiful and raw and full of emotion and heartwarming and I just want to read it again right away.
As someone not terribly educated on the autism spectrum, I can’t speak to whether the portrayal of Alvie was a good representation, but it felt tender and supportive and empowering, and did an excellent job showing her as a wonderfully rounded human being.
My only (very minor) issue was the portrayal of the tattoo artist and shop, but as a tattooist myself, I tend to be a bit finicky about representations of our profession in media. This likely wouldn’t be an issue for anyone else reading the book.
Ahhhhh. Read it. Please read it!
