Annotation:
This realistic and teenage romance fiction novel is a first-person narrative of a teenage boy name Martin, 16, on the high-functioning autism spectrum. The book chapters are not followed by conventional numbers, instead it is followed by date and timestamp. The tone is moving with writing style very thoughtful. Martin leaves from hometown to France with his mother and older sister for the summer, where he attends a local high school’s summer program. He has a crush on a girl who he thinks of a real-life character in his favourite book by the French author Marcel Proust. He figures out how to fall in love with overcoming challenges to his own perception and social interaction.
