Grace is fifteen and has autism, she struggles to deal with things like noise, in the way other people can. This causes her to have to up and leave classes at school when she feels overwhelmed.
Grace however, adores her horses and loves animals, she has best friend Anna looking out for her and a younger sister called Leah who loves TV and learning what its like to become a teenager as she's thirteen.
When we get deeper into the story, we find Grace is looking forward to a party coming up. She and Anna choose between outfits together and end up having so much fun hyped up together they break Anna's bed from bouncing on it!
Anna wakes early most mornings if not all, to go to the stables and help out. Whilst she's there, Gabe comes hurtling by and falls of his bike before briefly chatting to Anna and carrying on his ride. At the party a game of spin the bottle takes place at which, school bully Holly, sits by Gabe hoping she'll be picked to kiss Gabe only Grace ends up being kissed by Gabe.
Life n many ways, Grace doesn't like change though.
Her mum's new friend Eve is around too much, drinking more with her mum too, her dad and mum seem on the rocks and her sister Leah is acting over thirteen and more like Holly would.
Then there's the fact Gabe is now her boyfriend and understands her Autism as he has ADHD.
The book is all about changes, growing up, alcohol and the effects of it on different ages in different ways, finding first love and overcoming bullies or negative people/friendships in your life. It was a really engaging read as well and reveals a closer look into the life of an autistic person too. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thank the publishers for allowing me to review it for them!
