AUTISM! My heart broke a little every time Keiko said something about needing to be cured. Glad this book is a flat arc—Keiko realizing that she was happiest at the beginning of the novel—I think there’s too few of them out there. Not a loveable book, but I hope readers recognize, after reading it, how painful a concept being “normal” is to anyone who isn’t.
