the extra 0.75th of a star is because i felt bad <3

i have never wanted to throw a book more.

not only are the characters insufferable but the rep was poor at best. if you’re going to have autistic sadness (and a character who only stims when upset) please also demonstrate autistic joy. sincerely - an autistic person who is tired of overused stereotypes. and the adhd rep was just “problems focusing” which doesn’t encompass anything at all!

this is without me discussing the too descriptive sex scene, miscommunication trope, references to polyamory as communism??? and just a complete boring plot and characters 

i was really excited for this, especially to have a queer autistic main character but i was let down repeatedly - i wouldn’t recommend this :)

but it’s so FRUSTRATING because there was so much potential!!! and so many threads that were created that could’ve been expanded on. but it was rushed and there was miscommunication and overall - i have wasted 6 hours of my life on this.

OH AND WHILE IM HERE: please don’t ever make a character refer to another autistic character as a “nutjob” or “hanging around with her will make you as crazy as she is”. it’s fine in certain circumstances ig but there was really no reason to have this in the book. except to make autistic readers feel bad. regardless of how the main characters reacted to the statement. 

ANYWAYS sorry for ranting, i hope you enjoy more than i did!
