Short, but a bit unsatisfying

A novel reminiscent, in some ways, of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time". Diagnosed as a child with spinal muscular atrophy much of the book is preoccupied with the effects this has and continues to have on the protagonist's life. This was also the aspect I enjoyed the most.

Though, overall, a relatively enjoyable and readable book I found the ending too abrupt and quite meh, with the "mystery" driving the plot uninteresting and lacking a satisfactory dénouement.
