75% of this book was about people getting upset with Cassandra and/or Cassandra getting upset with the people around her. I almost DNF, but plowed through and was shocked when both she and her sister weren’t even slightly aware that she was autistic?! I may be totally naive, but it seemed so unbelievable to me. I wish there would have been half as much anger and frustration and more of her realizing who she is and learning to deal with it - be honest with herself and others. Such a frustrating book.
