This is a quick read with a very unique narrator- he’s autistic and the whole book is through his POV. The book is kind of his journal. A dog is murdered in the first chapter and I loved seeing humanity in the characters and different relationships. Watching the character live through and consider tough interpersonal issues like divorce, lies, and the murder of a dog was very interesting. All this while maintaining a happy and lighthearted book- I’m very impressed.
