This book was good. Although I know the repeated mention of weight and BMI was meant to show the characters analytical approach I found it a bit uncomfortable and it could be upsetting to people who struggle with body image or eating disorders.

I’ve had this book on my shelves for a while and I’m so glad to have finally read it. 

Don is unknowingly on the spectrum. He’s smart, he’s scheduled, and he’s picky. He needed someone like his friend Gene to show him exactly what NOT to do in a relationship, someone like Claudia to give him blunt but valuable advice, someone like Dave to be a normal friend, and someone like Rosie to knock his entire world off balance. 

He doesn’t need to fit into the “goofball” or the “nerd” stereotype. He can be himself and anyone worth keeping around will love him for who he truly is.
