This is an amazing debut and I'm curious to see how McAnulty's writing improves with experience. For me, the pacing was a bit off sometimes but the language was full of color and I could just see myself in the places being described. It really made me want to go sit outside and notice all the little things about where I live. I also appreciated learning about what the world feels like from an autistic perspective and I loved how the family supported and cared for each other.
