Art, connection, and a difficult choice

Violet, a 16-year-old autistic artist, uses drawing to get through school and swimming to ease her anxiety. After a classroom incident leads her toward new friendships, she meets Con at a party, and both her relationships and her experiences begin to change. An offer of a scholarship to an art school four hours away turns those new connections into the heart of a decision: stay with the friends and boyfriend she has worked to find, or begin again at a school she may enjoy more. The story brings neurodiversity, anxiety, creative ambition, and the pull between belonging and opportunity into the same choice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about autistic characters and neurodiversity
  • Readers drawn to young adult fiction about friendships and relationships
  • Readers interested in art, school, and choices about pursuing new opportunities

Book overview

Violet, an autistic 16 year old has a passion for art and finds solace from her anxiety though swimming. The only way she can get through the day at her crappy high school is to draw. After an incident in the classroom Vi is forced to make friends. At one of their parties she meets an incredibly handsome guy named Con, instantly sparks fly.

 

With the euphoria and challenges of shared new experiences, Vi's friendships and relationship deepen... Until she is offered a scholarship to a prestigious art school four hours away.

 

The dilemma then becomes; does Vi stay for her new friends and boyfriend that she's worked so hard to get? Or leave and start all over again in an art school she might actually enjoy?
