Twenty-two-year-old diarist Sally Fairfax is both beautiful and Autistic. After tinkering with her daily entries, fibbing to not only herself but her "Future Self," Sally feels she is misinterpreted for her pleasing outside looks and shunned for her eccentric ideals; unable to execute them to her womanly advantage. From losing mundane dead-end jobs, clubbing with her illustrious friend "Molly," and even vacationing inside Magic Kingdom, Sally's adventurous life is, as she puts it, "full of Lions inside Numbers." From the author of Biflocka comes a gritty, quirky-humored epistolary novel written from the troubled mind of a beautiful female with Aspergers Syndrome.
Kevin Klix is a self-proclaimed amateur philosopher and is the author of novels BIFLOCKA, WASP IN THE OPIUM FLOWERS, and A LION IN YOUR NUMBER, along with several works of non-fiction and one collection of poetry. He lives and works in West Palm Beach, Florida.
First off, I'm terrible at reviews, or any sort of writing. I won this book on goodreads. At first, it's a bit difficult to read, as the style of writing resembles a teenage girl's diary (and very well at that), but as you progress into the story, it becomes easier to read and easier to follow along. The book has a fantastic ending. While nearing the end of the book, I kept thinking "wow, i really hope it doesn't end like this, i'll be very disappointed", but it does not disappoint at all and made me smile to myself. My favorite passage of the book is the quote from page 168 - 172. I really hope the author makes another book for the next chapter in Sally's life, because I need to know what happens next! P.S, to the author, I was thinking about the connection with Invisible Monsters the page before you mentioned it! Great little cameo
