I really enjoyed this book and the audiobook narrator, Dan O'Grady, did a fantastic job!

This book tells the first person account of geeky (and autistic) scientist meets quirky girl. The book is light romantic comedy, not deep drama, but there is heart to the story and characters that radiate out of the book.
This was a perfect choice as an audiobook. The narrator captures the first person inner monologue of the main character, Don, and listening to the book helped me be in Don's head. I very much enjoyed hearing about the coping mechanisms that he developed to deal with what he call ...more

Like Don, this book is straightforward with some obvious structure and predictability, and I really like that... No need to change. :)
