Thank you so much for writing this book. It speaks to me because I'm considered not autistic enough. I get told that I'm not autistic because I am perceived as smart and partially because I am a queer woman of color. It's vital to have female representation of autism and how girls and women tend to mask their autistic traits to fit in girl world and societal norms.

I was initially drawn in by the cover and the bright red high heels and the story reeled me in. I can relate to the struggles of being a woman on the autistic spectrum and how autism tends to look different in women than men.
