{"product_id":"marcelo-in-the-real-world-22515","title":"Marcelo in the Real World","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarcelo in the Real World, reminiscent of \"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night\" in its intensity and purity of voice, is a love story, a legal drama, and a celebration of the music each of us hears inside. Marcelo Sandoval hears music no one else can hear, part of the autism-like impairment no doctor has been able to identify. He's always attended a special school where his differences have been protected. However, after finishing his junior year, his father demands that Marcelo work in his law firm's mailroom in order to experience \"the real world.\" There, Marcelo meets Jasmine, a beautiful and surprising co-worker, and Wendell, the son of another partner in the firm. As Marcelo learns about competition and jealousy, anger and desire, he truly connects him with the real world—its suffering, its injustice, and what he must do to survive in it.     Please be advised that this book deals with mature themes and sensitive subject matter. Some readers may find the use of language objectionable.
