This passage is representative. Jack: "I smiled at Early. The kind of smile you give to a little kid who still believes int he tooth fairy. If I'd been sitting closer, I might have ruffled his hair." It alarms me that readers find this acceptable and identify with Jack. He's a little pisher.

I should have read this one in one night. I am holding on to it, deciding if I want to finish it. The writing and storytelling are excellent. But the way the main character, Jack Baker, treats his friend(?) Early Auden (great name!) is almost unbearable to me. See: Early is special; possibly ASD--though the author doesn't give much info on this disability, because she doesn't have to.

I am disappointed that the author of Moon Over Manifest fell into the quirky-brilliant-inspirational-Autistic (Rain Man) trap, but the writing and setting is keeping me interested. And it's nowhere near as offensive as Wonder .
