Fans of The Kiss Quotient will love Perfectly Adequate, a heartfelt and hilarious journey along the "human" spectrum from USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Jewel E. Ann.

Dorothy Mayhem is a nursing student, patient transporter, reckless driver, and emu owner. She knows she isn't like other girls. Neurotypical people are nothing if not predictable, though, and that's why she has made a hobby of studying their behavior through books and TV.

It helps her fit in with her peers when she can emulate them.

But nothing can prepare her for Dr. Elijah Hawkins.

He's a single dad. A brilliant pediatric oncologist. Widely agreed to be the sexiest doctor at the hospital. And entirely unpredictable.

Though getting to know the man behind the chiseled features and top-notch reputation would be her pleasure, Dorothy misunderstands one attempt after another to ask her out. Instead of dates with Elijah, she finds herself on a series of playdates with his son.

Roman is cute, sweet, and brings her unexpectedly closer to his father every day.

Dorothy Mayhem is about to find out that the only thing more unpredictable than a childâ??is love.… (meer)

At the start of the book the Hero and his ex wife have been split up for 18 months.
He has been in a bit of a funk, not sure what went wrong, still pinning after his ex wife, they were together since high school.

The Hero and his ex still work at the same hospital so they interact from time to time and they have a son, shared custody.

He starts up with the new woman, Dorothy, it's a bit slow burn, she's oblivious as she idolize his ex wife as a brilliant doctor so thinks it's not really over.
The Hero decides to try to move on and things progress with Dorothy, he hadn t really noticed her before.

The Hero and Dorothy are intimate, the ex wife is hurt he is actually with someone new, though she encouraged him to move on..

During separation of Hero and Dorothy, the ex wife moves back home with the Hero, he's sleeping on the couch.
Dorothy feels he should make a go of it with his ex for the child's sake so calls things off officially.
The ex wife gets into bed with the Hero and they cuddle, he has his back to her.
Later after they decide to try and rebuild their relationship (the Hero and his ex) they start to become intimate, the Hero is struggling with thoughts of Dorothy, they are interrupted.
A later conversation reveals they have not been intimate together, though they did get as far as being naked.
The Hero is not really fully invested in the getting back with his ex wife but feels they should try esp as Dorothy has to wished it.
It is vague but it left me the impression he was not intimate with his ex again.

To be honest the situation made me a bit uncomfortable. The ex wife is pretty cut and dried with the Hero at the start so you feel he needs to move on but later when you discover why she acted the way she did you feel for her.
She didn't go about things the right way but she still loves him and really wants him back but by that time it's too late he's developed feelings for someone else.

HEA for Hero and Dorothy according to the author, but for me it was a bit cheesy, if I was the ex wife or the Dorothy I wouldn't have been impressed to have the ex living so close, esp knowing she loved him and would have got back together if it had been up to her.

The writing is a bit odd.
The heroine, Dorothy is an unusual character and is all over the place with her thoughts, not sure I found her endearing.
Epilogue. ( )
