Love Anthony by Lisa Genova
3.0
emotional hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

Grieving from the recent death of her nonverbal autistic son, Olivia retreats to a Nantucket beach to take stock of her life. On Nantucket, stay-at-home mom Beth is rocked to discover her husband's infidelity. As Beth tries to find herself again, she begins to write a story about a boy with autism, a boy who seems a lot like Olivia's son. A sweet, albeit sappy story, Love Anthony does an excellent job portraying autism from lots of different angles yet doesn't exactly wow with its character development.
