Weirdos Welcome From Cynthia Baseman Wait Til You Meet Rae And Braiden
About this episode
Weirdos Welcome, a debut novel with a young adult love story that’s messy, awkward, and weirdly wonderful—just like life. It celebrates neurodivergent first love told from alternating points of view: Rae struggles over masking her autism, navigating social situations and telling people exactly what she thinks—whether they like it or not. Braden acts Just Fine even as his anxiety sends him spiraling over things like quitting the basketball team and the air quality in the cafeteria.
Author Cynthia Baseman is a library advocate who writes stories that sit at the intersections of healing, humor, and humanity. A PW BookLife Editor’s Pick, her first novel is a funny and fiercely compassionate story that champions owning your oddness, standing up when it’s easier to disappear, and finding that person who doesn’t ask you to be, or pretend to be, “normal.”
