Socially awkward professor wants to find the perfect mate.
This story starts off very real. I have met many individuals who struggle to say the right thing in social settings and are very awkward. In some regards, it seems like a caricature of people I know. There were times I laughed out loud. This is rare for me. There were some predictable parts in the book but they were overcome by the humor and heart warming story. I found myself looking forward to reading it. I also read Rosie Effect. The first book was more enjoyable because the nuances of Don, the lead character were more of a surprise. A great book to read before bed. If you are a scientist or in engineering, I think you will relate best to this story.
