Then, in this vanishingly small moment in the history of the universe, she took my hand, and held it all the way to the subway.4.5 stars. What an enjoyable read! Now I know I read books I adore in only one or two sittings, so I'm a little surprised myself that it took me over a month to finish it, but I think life circumstances are solely to blame.
I highly, HIGHLY recommend this book—and to everyone, not just romance readers. Don Tillman is quite the hero/protagonist/leading character. Don h ...more
I loved that book so much! :) So sweet, funny and romantic!
I found myself immersed on this story about an socially awkward professor who falls in love with an unsuitable (according to him) woman. While I felt some of the professors and his love target characteristics a bit exaggerated, it was a completely relatable story about how the love one finds looks entirely different the list one makes to find it.
Very few books have made me laugh so hard...or think so deeply about the screwed-up behavior both the non-normal and normal sides of a dating relationship can hoist on each other....with all of it making sense in their own mind! Already recommended to several friends.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a quick, clever read that had me laughing out loud quite a bit. It was one of six summer books recommended by Bill Gates, and an excellent suggestion at that. (A humorous romance recommended by Bill Gates? Go figure.) I plan on lending out my copy for friends to enjoy (yes, it's good enough to share) and look forward to the sequel due to release later this year.

What a fun, quick, lovely read. Don's character is irrepressible, I can just imagine his fraught attempts at dating and finding a wife. I can also imagine that he must have driven the Dean to the edge of insanity, many, many times. I really, really enjoyed reading this book.

Just a fun, occasionally laugh out loud book with likable characters, movie references, and an interesting problem to be solved. Would have been a good beach read but i needed a book like this now!
Touching and funny, a delightful summer read. I loved the characters and the story. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to escape into an eccentric love story for a few hours.
