House Rules by Jodi Picoult

5.0

I’ve had an up-and-down relationship with Jodi Picoult books, but the ones I’ve loved, have been PHENOMENAL. This one focuses on Asperger’s Syndrome and how society forces neurodivergent individuals to try and fit into a box of social acceptability. But when Jacob’s tutor is murdered, he becomes the prime suspect for no other reason than his obsession with crime scenes. I loved this book. It was heartbreaking, frustrating, and so incredibly moving. If we see neurodivergence as a super power, rather than a hinderance, we never know what will happen.
