New My Life in Orbit review just dropped!

Amazon review reading
'Best novel with autistic POV I've ever read
One of those books where it feels like the writer got inside your head and then articulated perfectly and beautifully things about you that you could never put into words yourself. Moving and poignant, especially the narrator's relationship with his mother. But there is a whole other layer of meta fiction that really elevates the book and gives it philosophical weight. Loved the use of the Walt Whitman reference throughout as well.

Reads 'Out of order since 1997. The next time you look at this lie you told, have think about what it is exactly that you are doing in men's public toilets. Hunnie X'
