My 38th (ish - there have been uncorrected proofs that aren’t on Goodreads!) book of 2023. I really enjoyed this one. A fictional story inspired by a real person. Guzzled this book down in two days - I found the style really suited me ❤️📚

joey is often irritated when interrupted or waiting to say something, take time and leave enough silence between things to allow the time for their thinking. great account here for lots of good tips @sendcic @QueensCoEURC @HeadwayUK
People with a brain injury can sometimes be impatient, intolerant of others' mistakes, and easily irritated by interruptions, such as noise from children or machinery, which disrupt their concentration.  Find out more: headway.org.uk/about-brain-i…

In my opinion, which I know isn’t worth much 😂- this book should be in every class from year 6 upward

Thank you @candyuk19 this is really useful. I feel like we’re well equipped to know how to respond but not always in spotting the warning signs. This is a startling and insightful analogy “It’s like going from normal to drunk, from drunk to hungover in five minutes” - JD Heath”
