I love this book. I'm a self-diagnosed autistic person. I can relate to Phillip even though he doesn't talk much. I laughed my head off at the quote "Holographic meatloaf! My favorite!" because I like meatloaf and I really like holographic Christmas decorations. I celebrate year-round Christmas!
I also intensely relate to "Phillip needs blocks!" because I'm terrified of the strident noise of buzzer alarms, just like Phillip. I wish Jordyn had been more honest about Phillip when talking at school about her family. I know teenagers have lots of issues but Jordan could have been more open regarding her brother. Phillip is definitely my favorite character in the book.
