Strange Sally Diamond is, indeed, about Sally Diamond who is deemed strange because of her neurodivergence and social deficiencies. At age 43, when his father died, she became a news headline which led to her tragic past unraveling.
My most favorite thing about this book is how simple yet engaging the writing is. The plot is compelling, albeit predictable at times, and I loved following through the alternating perspectives and timeline. The themes are dark and enraging, yet the story is moving and has lightness to it.
