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!
Don Tillman is a character like no other in fiction. He’s classic Asperger’s, with all the brilliance and bluntness and cluelessness and charm that entails. Fortunately he has a best friend, Gene, who is there to provide a window into Ordinary Human Life for Don.

This is an unusual and very interesting book. I didn't know if I would like the unique plot, featuring a professor who suffers from Asperger's but doesn't know it, and his search for a wife. At times laugh-out-loud funny, and at other times, very touching, this book touched my heart.

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.
As a big fan of The Big Bang Theory, I LOVED this book. I have a soft soft in my heart for the nerds of the world.
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.
