Show Us Who You Are by Elle McNicoll

5.0

I'm not sure where to start. I could say that I laughed, that I cried, I could say that I felt like I was really SEEN in this book, or I could just say that I loved it. But somehow, somehow that doesn't seem like enough, no matter what I say, because all of that is true but I'm also missing something—missing words that I need to use to describe this book, but can't find.

I've got tears on my cheeks as I write this and I'm still wiping them away as I just think about that beautiful ending. Like... goodness gracious the ending was so perfect. I'm going to save most of my thoughts for a review for my blog, but just know this: This book was a near-perfect representation of what it's like to be autistic. Each autistic is different, but there are some of us who are like Cora. And I loved seeing that. As an autistic myself, I felt so seen and am so attached to her character.

I would highly recommend this book, but if you want a more in-depth review, head to my blog! If it's not up yet, stay tuned because it's going up in the schedule soon. The link is in my profile. :) Happy reading, y'all!
