the protagonist is so relatable, and quite autism coded? it's such an engaging and emathy craving novel. charlene made me cry, i thought her story was realistic and the 1st person makes it so. in my opinion, the ubrubt ending makes it true to life- irritating that you don't know what happened in the court case, if she ever got to see kandi again but that's life? i love how her special interest and coping mechanism is knitting, again that made it similar to life, gave her personality, and helped me, the reader, gage her character. i like her strong opinions and blunt words, how she didn't understand how to apologise if she didn't mean it or why she would is very relatable to an asd/autistic reader. i loved it and the font!!
