I'm torn and honestly don't know how to rate this. I enjoyed the writing and found the story compelling, but I can see that there are some potentially harmful stereotypes. I was also uncomfortable with the ending and the idea that Collin's "disability" (for lack of a better term, and which is never actually named) could and should be cured in order for him to be "free".
