Content warning: Child abuse.
Real and authentic and heartwarming and so so sad.
I loved Ginny and I feel that her autism was well-written, her backstory was so tragic and I did actually like that a lot of it was implied rather than spoken outright, usually I like things spelled out explicitly but it would have felt out of place in this book.
I feel like a lot of the adults were pretty useless and didn't take Ginny seriously or listen to her properly, especially regarding 'Baby Doll', to me that was obvious fairly quickly yet the adults in Ginny's life were so dense! And her adoptive mum in particular took things way too far and I wonder how thing would have been if she'd opened up sooner. Overall an interesting book that makes you think.
4.5/5 stars.
