"Ohhhhh my gosh. This book was a phenomenal read. I felt all the feelings! A touching read addressing tough themes in a beautiful way. It was also interesting to see the world through the eyes of someone with Asperger's. I learned so much! This book was impactful and definitely worth reading. "

"The day I stop using books to resolve my trauma is probably the day I'll stop reading books, tbh.
Read this in the aftermath of grieving someone I loved a lot and it was the perfect combination of sappy, sweet, and real to make me feel less alone at a time when I felt like some kind of grief-stricken alien stuck on planet Sunshine.
This book was heartwarming, cute, and good for the soul. "
"This was a really cute book, and the characters were lovable and realistic. If anyone’s wondering, there is no *spice* at all. There are some heavier topics that are discussed, so I would recommend it for 13+"
