From the New York Times bestselling author of Tell Me Three Things comes a story about two struggling teenagers who find an unexpected connection just when they need it most. Nicola Yoon, the bestselling author of Everything, Everything, calls it "charming, funny, and deeply affecting."
Sometimes a new perspective is all that is needed to make sense of the world. KIT:I don??t know why I decide not to sit with Annie and Violet at lunch. It feels like no one here gets what I??m going through. How could they? I don??t even understand. DAVID:In the 622 days I??ve attended Mapleview High, Kit Lowell is the first person to sit at my lunch table. I mean, I??ve never once sat with someone until now. ??So your dad is dead,? I say to Kit, because this is a fact I??ve recently learned about her.
When an unlikely friendship is sparked between relatively popular Kit Lowell and socially isolated David Drucker, everyone is surprised, most of all Kit and David. Kit appreciates David??s blunt honesty??in fact, she finds it bizarrely refreshing. David welcomes Kit??s attention and her inquisitive nature. When she asks for his help figuring out the how and why of her dad??s tragic car accident, David is all in. But neither of them can predict what they??ll find. Can their friendship survive the truth? Named a Best Young Adult Novel of the Year by POPSUGAR ??Charming, funny, and deeply affecting all at the same time.? ??Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything and The Sun Is Also a Star
??Heartfelt, charming, deep, and real. I love it with all my heart.? ??Jennifer Niven, New York Times bestse… (mere)
Recommended: yes! For those who want a different-than-usual read on high school, particularly for those who aren't neurotypical.
A light read I completed in a sunny spot on the couch this lazy Sunday. I felt like I was in need of some realistic YA, rather than my usual magic-and-dragons fare.
I always enter books that have a character who has a disability (or borderline disability of some kind, etc) with a bit of hesitation, because the story can so often just be brutal and cruel, even if that is sometimes realistic, in their depiction of those characters. It can also set incorrect images of people, which is frustrating and harmful. I have a limited scope of knowledge and experience with the matter myself, but this felt like a more respectful portrayal. It also didn't seem to use it as a cop-out, or a crutch to try to win sympathy readers; it was just a story of two kids in high school trying to figure out the difficult shit they have to face. Which in high school, can feel like damn near everything.
Romance was ok. Sweet, and more realistic (although still some cliches of high school mixed in). There were two definite SWERVE moments, where I was actually saying to myself, "Whoa I didn't see that coming!" For me that is SUCH a treat, because I can usually predict every moment in a YA novel having read so many now. It was a delight to have not one, but TWO surprises!
Was it predictable? 2/3 plot moments caught me off guard, so that's pretty good. The 1 other was inevitable.
Was it good? I say an awkward "probably," because I think so, but also still have that nagging worry of the way David is portrayed. There were a good number of lines that made me laugh out loud, or highlight because it felt like a good point to remember and apply in my own life. I'd say that's good!
Did I enjoy it? Yup! And I'm glad I took a day off my other book in progress to bang this one out, because it was perfectly suited to my mood today.
Bonus, it made me feel so optimistic and productive! I got a lot done today! ...after spending most of it on the couch reading this, I kind of had to. ;) ( )
YA romance between a guy with Asperger’s and a girl who is grieving for her recently deceased father. They are both in an awkward place but find comfort in each other.
Cute enough, I guess, but not as good as the other book I read by this author.
I really enjoyed this read. I thought the mystery elements could have flowed a bit better. I adored david character and loved how this book focused on harder issues like grief and also autism in kids. I loved the relationships dyamnics between the characters. I found this read to be so refreshing. I wish i liked Kit character a bit more but this book such a fast pace read with some harder tones. I would def read more by this author in the future. ( )

God did I enjoy this story. I'm such a big sucker for dual POV and this book really shows dual POV nicely. Throughout the story you get to see David grow and slowly learn more about how to be a normal person with the help of Kit and slowly starts to develop feelings for her!! ( )

Much like ordering steak and naming children, language seems inherently and irrationally optimistic; we just assume other people understand what we are talking about.
