This book has been on my TBR forever and the reading of it is overdue. A compassionate and professional look at all the ways trauma hurts us, and the various possibilities if addressing it. So many things make so much sense now. I had to speed-listen to the cure section because my book was due to be returned and I think I need to take more notes and process the info, so I will be rereading it slowly on paper.

SamAnne Oh, I‘ve been meaning to read this one for awhile. 3d

Booksbymybed @SamAnne 💛it is a tough read with many difficult things in it. But it was absolutely worth it. 3d

7th grader Simon O'Keeffe and his family move to Grin And Bear It, Nebraska, which is part of the National Quiet Zone where radio and hence wifi devices are banned to help the work of radio astronomers.

An enjoyable black comedy about finding friends and incidentally recovering from traumatic episodes in the past. Some truly lol moments.

10% of the way in I thought my partner would like this story so I looked up whether it had been made into a film or TV series and one of the top ghits has a massive spoiler in the snippet it shows.
