I loved Saturdays at Noon. I chose this book at random at it fit the category and I hadn't even read the blurb so had no idea what to expect. I loved the way the point of view of each chapter moves between Emily, Jake and Alfie as their lives become more and more entwined. I loved Alfie. The author does a great job of portraying his particular type of autism with sensitivity. This is a book you can laugh and cry at, one that gives you all the feels.
