When Abby’s Grandma Mir unexpectedly passed away, her family was devastated. Abby wasn’t affected since she didn’t know her Grandma Mir that well. But lately, she has noticed that her parents have been more stressed out. They tell her it’s nothing, but Abby can tell something is happening. 

Meanwhile, Noah's parents have been putting a lot of pressure on him. His bar mitzvah is about to happen in several months, and preparing for it has been stressful! Not only that, but Noah’s parents are in denial about his autism. Noah wishes that someone would understand how he feels. And sometimes, he feels all alone. 

That was until he met Abby at synagogue one evening.

They're both so different and yet so alike. But the thing they definitely had in common was that they couldn't seem to fit in anywhere, and that's how they found each other. 

As the two of them became closer, their feelings for one another grew stronger. These new feelings make Noah want to burst inside. Does Abby feel the same way? If not, it could ruin their friendship.

This dual-perspective coming-of-age story follows two autistic, Jewish tweens seeking acceptance. With a little bit of humor and romance along the way.
