Such a great book. I can’t believe how much depth Jesse draws from his characters in such a short amount of pages. I don’t normally go for short stories. This was not like your typical book of short stories. All the stories feel much longer than they are. Most enjoyable. Funny too!

An excellent book for anyone wanting to learn more about neurodivergence. I think this would be a great comfort to anyone, particularly girls and women who are autistic or ADHDers.
