Publisher Description
Arthur Drams works for a secret government security agency, but all he really does is spend his days in a cubical writing reports no one reads. After getting another "lateral promotion" by a supervisor who barely remembers his name, it's suggested that Arthur try to 'make friends' and 'get noticed' in order to move up the ladder. It's like high school all over again: his attempts to be friendly come across as awkward and creepy, and no one wants to sit at the same table with him at lunch. In a last-ditch attempt to be seen as friendly and outgoing, he decides to make friends with The Alien, aka Agent Martin Grove, known for his strange eating habits, unusual reading choices, and the fact that no one has spoken to him in three years.Starting with a short, surprisingly interesting conversation on sociology books, Arthur slowly begins to chip away at The Alien's walls using home-cooked meals to lure the secretive agent out of his abrasive shell. Except Martin just might be something closer to an actual secret agent than paper-pusher Arthur is, and it might be more than hearts at risk when something more than friendship begins to develop.Please note this book has a Heat Rating of zero.

This is for the shy romantics who sat alone for sure!
This is the first book I have ever bought immediately after reading a sample. Usually I debate with myself on whether I will buy it, hard copy or reading it from the library.
I feel like I've found an answer to a life long question I couldn't quite put my finger to. An epiphany of some sort. The classic "oh this is so obvious how did I miss it? It was right there!"
I am so thankful I found this story. I read it in one day and that is a feat by itself since I have ADHD and I have a migraine lol.
I love love, and this book made me feel seen and loved. Representation matters so much and it's like the best feeling feeling seen, especially when so many just see you as an anomaly or the weird shy kid or whatever.
This one is for all the shy kids who sat alone for sure! The shy adults too! Oh man that part is so real. I was like this is so real, thank you for writing this!!! 💖
