It’s disappointing so far. I should really like it because it’s about one / two neurodivergents (Hungry Paul is likely autistic, Leonard might just be shy and socially awkward). But its lack of literary flare makes the book feel just a bit charmless. A lot of focus on ordinary people (eg Grace and her fiancé) but not in a way that really makes them feel more alive. Hoping for an improvement in final third!
