 lastly, and I know it sounds like an excuse, but neither you nor I nor anyone can ever really know whether a story is happy or tragic.

a coming of age story with a neurodivergent protagonist. poignant, touching, and hopeful. highlighted the beauty in empathy and the joy of experiencing and understanding the full range of human emotions. how lucky are we to feel and know. 

simple but effective writing style and a lovely story progression.
