Publisher Description
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 child—is love.

Perfectly perfect
Absolutely loved this book. I was hooked from the first chapter. Couldn’t put it down, I read it from start to finish in one sitting. Absolutely worth the read!
Perfectly adequate
Ive just finished this book and I’m not quite sure how to wrap up my feelings about it, so I’m going middle of the road.
I’m pretty sure this is the first book I’ve read by this author and as far as I can tell this isn’t an ‘own voices’ story but possibly her child has ASD..?
I love reading stories about different kinds of people and see the world from their view a little bit, so I was looking forward to reading this for that. I did find the MC, Dorothy, to be very chaotic and that made reading about her quite intense. My mind had me feeling all that mayhem (excuse the pun) along with her which made it hard for me to relax into the story and just enjoy it. I also found some parts of the story were a bit repetitive and made some parts of the story drag a bit…
I did, however, enjoy the characters and their chemistry. They didn’t shy away from working on themselves and taking responsibility for their actions and trying to improve themselves, whether it was through formal therapy or just working through their thoughts with family.
I guess it really was, perfectly adequate
