When Adam Blake lands the best elective ever in his senior year, serving as an aide to the school psychologist, he thinks he's got it made. Sure, it means a lot of sitting around, which isn't easy for a guy with ADHD, but he can't complain, since he gets to spend the period texting all his friends. Then the doctor asks him to track down the troubled freshman who keeps dodging her, and Adam discovers that the boy is Julian--the foster brother he hasn't seen in five years.
Adam is ecstatic to be reunited. At first, Julian seems like the boy he once knew. He's still kind hearted. He still writes stories and loves picture books meant for little kids. But as they spend more time together, Adam realizes that Julian is keeping secrets, like where he hides during the middle of the day, and what's really going on inside his house. Adam is determined to help him, but his involvement could cost both boys their lives.

Oh my God! This book was so painful to read. I loved Adam so much, throughout the story. The way he interacted with everyone despite being ADHD. His mom was so nice. And every time he ferociously protected Julian.
Halfway through the story got so intense and painful that I couldn't stop reading. Who needs sleep anyway?
There's a lot of triggering stuff in this. I felt very claustrophobic at one point so you know the writing was really good. Really liked this one.
My English teacher told my class to pick a book that includes neurodiversity to read. As a person that usually reads high fantasy, I wasn't too excited. Realistic fiction is one of my least-read and least-enjoyed categories. In 300 pages, the author of this book managed to change that. It is splendidly written and toyed with my emotions every page. I really enjoyed this book and I think anyone could take something out of it.
Un livre magnifique. Très dur à certains moments, extrêmement difficile ou touchant à d'autres, mais vraiment magnifique. Des personnages extrêmement attachants que l'on découvre au fur et à mesure et auxquels on s'attache très fort, quelque chose que je n'avais pas vraiment eu en YA depuis [b:Wonder 11387515 Wonder R.J.
