Review of a Goodreads Giveaway copy.
Refreshing. Like a few stories rolled into one - the 30-something academic living unwillingly at home, physics obsessed and socially awkward; the identical twins, one of whom broke said academic's heart, the other hoping to heal it for him; the smitten friend.
Alex is on the right side of likeable, but it's hard not to get frustrated with someone who has let a bad break-up ruin their life. He is half blind to the real emotions of the women around him but still manages to remain quite sweet.
The physics isn't too intense but the title still goes over my head I'm afraid.
A quirky and light read. I recently read Geek Girl and The Rosie Project concurrently with this and it's in good company.
