A fairly realistic voice for an autistic protagonist. I found it preferable to the other YA autism book I read at the same time ([b:Al Capone Does My Shirts 89716 Al Capone Does My Shirts Gennifer Choldenko https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1309198452s/89716.jpg 2952174]), but not having read YA in a long time, parts seemed very superficial. In addition, the character sometimes seemed young or naive in a way that does not sync with my experience with high functioning individuals on the autism spectrum
