A sweet novella with great prose and a fantastic narrator who explores an autistic coded experience and finally embraces herself in whatever ways she can manage. I found myself wanting something a bit more from the book after I finished but I think that could very well be due to both cultural differences in writing/narrative style as well as personal taste. still something good to recommend if you want a breezy but still mature and serious reflection on an aspect of modern life esp under capitalism
