My daughter, Becca recommended this book to me, and it was cheap on kindle so I gave it a go. Amazon says it’s like Matt Haig’s The Humans, and since Matt Haig can do no wrong in my eyes, this was something of a pedestal to put the book on, and early in my reading I was a bit annoyed (this is no Matt Haig! I thought) and I guess that’s why they say comparisons are odious, because it’s not Matt Haig, and to expect it to be is just wrong. I found it a little hard to get into, and I thought, just another book about someone on the autism spectrum… but the story and characters did start to grow on me, and I did get more and more interested and emotionally invested until I actually found that I did really like the book in the end, and even straight away bought another book by the author!
