YA
Fourteen-year-old "genius" Nathaniel, who has Asperger's syndrome, is taking a gap year between college and graduate school. His life mostly works well for him--until a teen party triggers a breakdown, marking the novel's turning point. Roy succeeds in presenting a unique and human perspective that allows readers to laugh at her character's quirks while engaging with him wholeheartedly.
