This book was a very welcome change from my traditional fare. Taylor Simon has Asperger's syndrome, her case is relatively mild. She doesn't like change, at all. She does like orchids, they are uncommon like she is. She does like friends; it is difficult making them though.
This book is a beautiful coming of age story in which a girl learns that she doesn't need a boyfriend to live her life. She just needs to accept that certain changes are unavoidable. The voice of this novella makes it very difficult to read, but, absolutely worth every page of struggle.
