This one was definitely a “it’s me, not you.”

The writing in this one just felt so awkward. And I KNOW we’re following a woman with autism and her ten year old son, so obviously both of them are going to speak just a “little” odd. But the writing for normal non-dialogue passages, and also for other characters, was just incredibly awkward. Also, I’m not sure if it was just a situation of the characters, but they get evicted and have to be set up in *emergency* housing, which ends up being a crummy hotel. And both of them do a fair amount of complaining after arriving to the hotel. Which I get that you’re following a ten year old boy, but they were EVICTED. And they were TOLD that it would be temporary until they could get a house. My family and I have literally paid for places that sounded worse than that. They were being treated kind of rude, but at the same time, they were complaining quite a bit.

Also, the other character, Tom, has these “dreams” of his old life, but are just flat out memories and the writing for them and his accompanying dialogue was also very awkward.

I think this will be a great book for others, but just wasn’t the right fit for me.
