Loved the chemistry cooking lessons, funny and fast-paced writing, main character who is clearly autistic but the writer doesn't know it was also a plus. The proselytizing for atheism, however, knocked off a star for me. It started as here and there but eventually expands to the point where it almost resembles a reverse PureFlix in how simplistic it's "atheism is the one true way and all religious people are either evil or stupid and the only good one is a secret atheist" moral was. I also found the supernaturally intelligent dog to be an odd inclusion.
