This book is just so absolutely delightfully creepy and yet also somewhat fun. I love how the author plays with the presentation of words on the page. We know very quickly, of course, the narrator is unreliable but the formatting really helps pull the reader into his mind set. I'm also in love with the ace representation and the depiction of that frustrating blend of wishing you could feel like everyone else but not understanding them either. Living in the edges of the social scene but everyone still knows who you are. This deserves all its accolades.
