β¦ Synopsis
For seventeen years, Mikey Sommers has been controlled and reduced by her mother and her swim coach, turned into a caricature of "high-functioning autism" to gain brownie points in games of social chess.
Her first act of rebellion comes in the form of an art class. Her small act of defiance turns into an avalanche when she meets Sofia Yoo, who flings open each window inside of her soul and makes her question every reality she thought she knew. Why is Sofia so unafraid, so unapologetic? Why does she say cemeteries make her happy?
And, most importantly, why does Mikeyβs heart climb out of her throat and spill onto the earth whenever Sofia smiles?
As Mikey unravels Sofiaβs secrets, definitions of herself and the world begin to change. Parents turn from heroes into people. Lies worm their way into the open. She doesnβt know how to be happy in the strange, ugly, ecstatic world sheβs discovering, but somehow she needs to find out.
