It took me awhile to really commit to this book, I thought about not finishing it several times in the first few chapters. I realize that the main character has ASD-related difficulties dealing with people, but the result (at first) is a rebarbative personality that, combined with the first-person telling of the story, repeatedly put me off. Perhaps the added distance of third-person would have helped. Anyway, she is forced into accepting changes in her life and as she adapts to those changes she becomes less rigid and more accepting, and those changes and perhaps the added depth of character helped me to start caring about her and the story outcome. The tale itself is not bad, although fairly predictable at times. Overall I ended up enjoying it enough that I am glad I stuck with it.
