emotional hopeful medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

obviously it is really great to have more ownvoices books with autistic main characters, especially showing different experiences! but i think that this focused too much on tally's struggles and didn't give her a chance to get any joy until the end. like i feel like each chapter jumps from meltdown to meltdown big event to big event and tally never gets a chance to just be happy. like she likes taylor swift, give her a scene to infodump to someone about her music or something! i also wasn't the biggest fan of the writing but i can forgive that considering that it is for a much younger target audience.
