Just by Looking at Him by Ryan O'Connell
2.0
I thought I was really going to enjoy this one, but it ended up being pretty okay. It definitely targets a very niche audience—I think if you’re under the age of 25 or over the age of 40, and you are not up-to-date on media/culture/modern slang, this book would totally go over your head. A lot of the book was quite funny and I appreciated the discussions of the stigma of disability in society, but I don’t know…something about the story just missed the mark for me. If I had to pinpoint what exactly, I’d say it’s just very pretentious and judge-y and oddly tone-deaf
