I think the other issue with both reviews is the missing mention and support for the hints of mental illness or at least neurodivergence.  There is some representation in these books, but no support in the reviews, and that could account for the proportionally one notch lower than accurate reviews. Like with all the categories of people who get supported, we are still holding out on mental illness because wow we have to wait and see what happens with public opinion.

The best you can say for my depiction of an anxiety disorder is to call my novel frantic in order to counteract your use of the word "funny." Any actual praise is compromised on purpose. I mean honestly it is hard to believe.  For people to be able to see some of the system behind it and how you just won't spend an actual compliment.
