If you have to repeat that the person your characters are accepting is strange and difficult and obsessed with incomprehensible boring things and fey more than twice, then guess what, "acceptance" might not mean what you think it does!

Ohh, I might have read some of the same books you have. As someone who kind of relates both to Big Emotions and to Rachel's trouble with too many people or too much contact, I'm so glad to hear that this book treats her better!
