Whip-smart, hilarious, and unapologetically honest, Rachael Lucas s The State of Grace is a heartwarming story of one girl trying to work out where she fits in, and whether she even wants to. Sometimes I feel like everyone else was handed a copy of the rules for life and mine got lost. Grace is autistic and has her own way of looking at the world. She s got a horse and a best friend who understand her, and that s pretty much all she needs. But when Grace kisses Gabe and things start to change at home, the world doesn t make much sense to her any more. Suddenly everything threatens to fall apart, and it s up to Grace to fix it on her own.
