Some heroes wear capes. Some prefer sensory sacks.Emmet Washington has never let the world define him, even though he, his boyfriend, Jeremey, and his friends aren’t considered “real” adults because of their disabilities. When the State of Iowa restructures its mental health system and puts the independent living facility where they live in jeopardy, Emmet refuses to be forced into substandard, privatized corporate care. With the help of Jeremey and their friends, he starts a local grassroots organization and fights every step of the way. In addition to navigating his boyfriend’s increased depression and anxiety, Emmet has to make his autistic tics acceptable to politicians and donors, and he wonders if they’re raising awareness or putting their disabilities on display. When their campaign attracts the attention of the opposition’s powerful corporate lobbyist, Emmet relies on his skill with calculations and predictions and trusts he can save the day—for himself, his friends, and everyone with disabilities.He only hopes there isn't a variable in his formula he’s failed to foresee.

Emmette is still awesome; no he is still a genius. Jeremey is still depressed. This one was mostly about special needs people rights. And towards the end it felt a bit like a fantasy book to me.
Rom-com gestures, asshole officials, flash dancing, puppy love, and potential roommates ( )
