Status Updates From Happiness Falls

i am pretty invested, the mystery elements is quite well set-up! though i do think this shld hv been be a shorter book and faster pased, as the writing itself is a bit of a drag.

Book has kept my interest fairly well but getting annoyed/confused sometimes at how the main character talks about her autistic little brother. She asks him a question and then dismisses what he communicates to her... she is 20. By the time I was 20 and my autistic brother was 17, I abundantly knew that he understood others and how to communicate. It feels like... misunderstanding for the sake of the plot.
