I think this is a perfect read for those who love Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. It's a fresh perspective of love and relationships through the eyes of a neurodivergent person. Relationships are always so different depending on life situation and person perspective. Most books about relationships follow the highs and all in my opinion very similar. This was a different take that was refreshing to read

An interesting read on the pov of a man with Autism and how he sees the world and relationships. As a teacher that teachers special education at the elementary level, it is interesting to see how some of my students may think as they become adults. I know it's just one perspective but it is eye opening of what kind of thoughts they may experience as an adult that goes through relationships and heartache. I enjoyed the book overall. The different time frames and stream of consciousness gave the book a unique feel.

Jacob Hubbard’s Sounds of Yesterday feels like crashing a deeply personal diary party. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s as if Hubbard has ripped a chapter straight out of his life and slapped it down on print. This brutal honesty is both captivating, heartbreaking and inspiring.

If you're curious about what it's like to walk a mile in someone else’s brain, Rob’s neurodivergent perspective is an eye-opening detour. It’s like getting a backstage pass to a mind that works differently, and it’s surprisingly heartwarming. Sure, it’s challenging at times, it's frustrating at times, but it also makes you appreciate the little things in life (and maybe question a few of your own assumptions).

What truly shines, though, is the portrayal of Rob's support system. His mom, grandpa, and friends are the unsung heroes of the story, their unwavering belief in him a constant source of warmth and resilience. It's a beautiful reminder of the power of human connection in navigating life's storms.

This book was very cute and lovely to read. I loved that there was neurotypical characters present in the book. It was a comfy read
It was interesting to see the main characters perspective on life.

I thought the premise was endearing and I thought the characters were going to be interesting. Unfortunately, I had a difficult time making a connection and the believability was lacking. This is probably a “me” problem as I’m sure there will be many folks who will enjoy this read!
