Just by Looking at Him by Ryan O'Connell
4.0
This novel by the star and creator of Netflix’s Special follows a TV writer with cerebral palsy who seems to have it all, but is falling apart behind the scenes. Between Hollywood backstabbing, a growing reliance on alcohol, his cheating habit putting pressure on his relationship, and internalized ableism, Elliot’s life has gone off the rails, but he’s determined to face his demons.
I listened to this on audio, and I absolutely loved hearing this book through Ryan O'Connell's voice. It's funny, sharp, and messy in wonderful ways. Elliot is a frustrating and endearing protagonist you can't help but root for, even as he makes all the wrong decisions.
