It takes a lot for me to rate a book one star but this was just terrible. The title is totally misleading, there is no love story here. As a parent of two children with ASD, married to someone with ASD traits, with multiple other family members with ASD, I would be ashamed if my NT son ever wrote a book as an adult comparing his sibling to a dog and devaluing and dehumanizing them. Just no. Autistic people are actually fully people and they are NOT lesser forms than NT people. Good grief. I am reading this book, and considering just putting it down. The author doesn't talk about how the family dealt with the girl's Autism, except through stories of how her sister acted in different scenerios. Boring at the least. I will finish, hoping that the author will talk more about Autism and less about the private jokes the family shares.Even after finishing this book I still wasn't satisfied. I would have loved it if Eileen had gone a bit deeper about her sister.
Loved this sibling account of living with autism. Hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time

It's an ebook, which I don't really read, but I should be able to peruse it.

Interesting but too much language for me to finish it.
