He'd tell her not to do stuff 'cause it wasn't cool or that people didn't like it when she did this or that and why and his advice helped her. He treated her well and knew how to deal with her as a person with Asperger's almost naturally. Their mother had died many years ago when Caitlin was a baby and Devon had really become her rock. One of the students who was shot is Caitlin's older brother, Devon. The local junior high was hit by two gun wielding students who managed to kill one teacher and two students before the police shot one perpetrator and apprehended the other. There can be wide differences in how males and females present and I think the author managed to bring those out in Caitlin, though the intense plot does put Caitlin in a situation above and beyond normal everyday life.Ī small town has been devastated. As a female with Asperger's I felt that Caitlin was portrayed realistically. I came away from this book very satisfied. Reason for Reading: I have Asperger's and when I saw a book that featured a female protagonist with Asperger's I was elated and HAD to read the book.
