This started out as a laugh out loud mummy memoir which had me chuckling along as the realities of birth really resonated with me but then it explored what it is to have a child that does not fit in with societal norms. Lucy is a cellist with two young children trying to juggle a return to the fickle world as a self employed musician and looking after a demanding child and baby. Stan is a delightful four year old that immediately had my heart refering to his parents as 'Excuse me'. He is fixated on number and letter puzzles in any language an obviously bright child but one who has real touble socialising and managing his emotions. Her love for her son and husband is evident as she tries to find answers that will help the family navigate daily life. This was really well written with relatable characters as well as balancing the humour with serious topics. I read this incredibly quickly as I just wanted to keep reading which is always the sign of a good book.
