A Kind of Spark by Elle McNicoll

emotional hopeful medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

Felt very realistic to me, I recognized myself in so many aspects of both Addie and Keedie.

I really like that forced institutionalization of autistic people is briefly discussed, because it's an important topic that doesn't get a lot of attention.

I loved seeing multiple autistic characters in one story, especially within the same family, which added to it feeling more realistic.

I also love that the story discusses autistic burnout and talks about the debilitating effects it can have.
