Jeremey is still struggling a lot but Emmet has grown so much in this book. I loved that the author didn't just have the characters overcome their difficulties but she made them work with those issues and learn to live with them together. Listening to their relationship grow was beautiful.

I needed to know what came next for Jeremey and Emmet when I finished book 1 and this was everything I needed it to be. Oh I loved the second book in this series. He only hopes there isn't a variable in his formula he's failed to foresee. 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. 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. With the help of Jeremey and their friends, he starts a local grassroots organization and fights every step of the way. 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. Some prefer sensory sacks.Įmmet 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.
