I thought that I would find this book irritating, but I enjoyed it immensely! Don is charming, and Rosie is delightful. I loved how the story progressed and appreciated the romantic elements.

This book is perfectly fine, but it did make me wish for more books written by autistic authors.

I read this for a second time. It was a light-hearted choice by our book club host for this month. The book is about pure entertainment alone, generating smiles at the expense of socially inept Asperger characteristics. I could never ‘believe’ in a story like this because Asperger qualities and habits do not do an about-face as if they’re mere peculiarities. But fun to read.

This is a thoroughly delightful book! I found the characters quite lovable...Don, who is likely “on the spectrum,” is heartbreakingly sincere, and Rosie is as honest as she is flawed. The book is a lovely, if not altogether graceful, dance between the main characters. I was delighted to discover there are subsequent books following this one!

Such an interesting story for the nerds and who likes to date a nerd.
There are many "raw diamonds" around us. Just give them the chance, smooth them a bit, and you can't imagine how bright they will be shining.

Started a little slow, but I ended up really enjoying it.

This book is very entertaining especially written from the perspective of the main character, Don Tillman, who sees the world from a different country perspective because his brain is “wire differently”. I very much enjoy this book even though I’m not usually into this genre. So far this book an The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang are added to my favorite books list.

Not quite what I thought it would be. The “humor” seems mainly to be laughing at how someone with autism spectrum and compulsive behaviors doesn’t fit in. Don’t know why I liked this less than Big Bang Theory, which can deal with similar situations.
That being said, I rated this above average because I liked that the story came from the perspective of the “different” character. I wish that the character of Rosie was more fully developed here because I think you learn lots about Don but not as much about Rosie. Also wish that there had been at least some academics portrayed in a positive light.
