I thought the Secret Irregular Society was incredible, but this book made me cry so many times. The autistic representation is SO good. Luke’s struggles were so incredibly relatable as someone who is also the big neurodivergent sibling to a profoundly autistic little sibling, and every time it came up, I sobbed.  Sangu Mandanna’s an auto-buy author from now on. I hope there are more books like this coming. They’re sweet, romantic, and hopeful, and I love knowing that that everything will be okay in the end. (I do think the ending made a ton of sense for the story and character and don’t have the same animosity toward it that others seem to—to be honest, I think it HAD to end the way it did, from a writer’s point of view, and would have been inconsistent otherwise.)
