    Outstanding novella

    Posted by Kristy Matthew on 6th Jun 2025

    It's been a long time since I have read something just for the pleasure of reading, but boy am I glad I chose this novella. Catriona has touched on so many unspoken topics among teens in this book, neuro-atypical teen life, how it can impact interactions with friends and families and also tackles death and burials, all in one short book! As I was reading I could visualise the teens I teach connecting to this text in so many beautiful subtle ways. I know that the book was originally written to bring awareness to neuro-atypical teens but I took more away from the characters views on death and burial. As someone who has experienced substantial family loss over the past 12mths it was a refreshing perspective that allowed me to gain some insight into what others might be thinking in times of tragic loss. I would honestly recommend this to teens that have lost love ones or need help to see a bigger picture related to death and burials. Catriona is clearly a very talented and attuned author that can cater to, and relate to the needs of her teen audience members. Outstanding novella.
