This is such a strange book. It's incredibly ambitious, one that has been well-reviewed and one that I didn't connect with at all.

I love the idea behind it, the way that everyone is trying their best to be normal, even though they all have their very obvious impediments against normalcy. Maxon and Bubber are both autistic (although Maxon wasn't diagnosed) and Sunny is bald. From the moment Sunny and Maxon decided to have a baby, Sunny begins a huge campaign for normalcy. She starts wearing a wig, she teaches Maxon how to interact with people (or, more accurately, continues to teach him) and even makes sure that they have the right house and the right car.

But I didn't connect with any of the characters and even when there were plot twists or danger, I didn't quite care about any of it.

Again, though, everyone else seems to love this book, so it's highly possible the fault is mine.
