The way this book literally taught me about radiation in a way that was so easy to understand!! I didn’t know anything about radiation before, but the way it was written I didn’t feel ever like I was falling behind, and the sprinkling of information being part of Valery’s character was CHEF’S KISS!!!

Valery got that AUTISM RIZZ fr & Shenkov is exclusively attracted to people w autism

and that’s all I have to say. I feel like an intellectual now!
