I enjoyed this book. The story is all over the place, starting with a young mom and her 3yr. old son being caught in the middle of a convenience store hold-up. Her son is the result of date-rape, so the story is explicit. It also includes how it affects her sex life after the fact, so may not be appropriate for a younger audience. Shandi meets a man with Asperger's syndrome and her son is highly intelligent. Although, the characterization may not be perfect, I appreciate the fact that the author is addressing the different way that these men view their worlds and the women who love them. A bit of a mystery, a bit of a love story and a bit of people learning more about themselves.

A crazy love story that started in the most craziest of ways and sure had the ups and downs, but I can't divulge where it ended! (It's too good to spoil!) Shandi is a young single mom and throughout the book I had to keep reminding myself of how young she was because she definitely didn't act like it at times. William is a scientist to the core and may lack in the social skills, but definitely doesn't lack in the book smarts. These two along with a few others are held up in a convenience store and that is where the crazy love story started.
Shandi was a great character, there were a few moments where I thought she repeated herself and once had an enlightenment, but went back to doing the same thing she did before. There were a few times where I wanted to smack her and say wake up! William was the same way, he had some moments where I really gravitated towards him and then he would have a moment where I greatly disliked him - thankfully the good outweighed the bad!
