This book was such a breath of fresh air! This book was also an amazing preview on what my perfectly imperfect amazing eight year old son could be like in twenty-two years. Dorothy Mayhem in her matter-of-fact inability to lie and all around neurotic behavior was the most awesome heroine I’ve read in a long time!
“I don’t mind being me. No one else can do it better.”–Dorothy Mayhem
From an outsider's perspective Eli has the perfect life. Gorgeous, successful pediatric oncologist, adorable three year old son, fantastic family. He has everything right? Except... That whole, his wife up and divorced him a year ago for no reason and he’s having a real b*tch of a time getting over it. He has spent almost every moment since she walked out the door dreaming of a reunion that would allow his family to once again be whole. As if it wasn’t horrible enough to have been put through all this, he has to see this woman at work ALL.THE.TIME!! She is a renowned pediatric plastic surgeon.
Enter Dorothy. Dr Elijah Hawkins first meets the beautiful patient transporter and nursing student. She’s on the spectrum, so she’s wonderfully a little socially awkward at times.
“It doesn’t require in-depth conversation, which is good since conversation is not my best honed skill.”
She is also one of the kindest most caring people/characters ever written! She was unapologetically honest. It doesn’t matter if it’s an inappropriate time or venue, she does what most ASD people do and that’s just speak freely and say the first thing that comes to their minds. #WithoutFilter
There were so many quirky things about Dorothy to love. Her approach to dating, her fashion sense, her sweet bond with Roman. GAH! I literally loved everything! She is the most unselfishly loving person ever. I loved Dorothy and Eli together. In a world of imperfections they were absolute perfection. Told in dual POV this quick read is the perfect rom-com. It’s the sweetest love story.
This book gives me so many feelings. I loved it because it was sweet, and quirky and hilarious! As a momma of a precious eight year old on the spectrum, this book gives me joy, and hope and the giggles too! Dorothy in this book reminds me of my little Mikey and his “sweet savagery” in telling you exactly what he thinks about something as simple as how your food tastes or how the other player is doing in a video game. We need people like My Mikey and Dorothy’s in our world. They bring color to it, make us view it differently, if we just take a moment and look at it through their eyes, I think the whole world would start to change for the better. I don’t know what amazing thing I did to be hand picked to be his momma, but I’m forever grateful. God knew I needed that boy, probably way more than he will ever need me. Everyday with fail he puts a smile on my face and it’s usually because of some “truthgrenade” he’s pulled the pin and dropped at someone’s feet. Just like Dorothy’s character! Lol
I loved Eli and Dorothy’s story the MOST. I instantly loved everything about Dorothy Mayhem from her inappropriate sex moments, and disasters, the fondue OMG the fondue. DYING! Don’t miss out on this amazingly sweet new rom-com by Jewel E. Ann with its unconventional heroine and fantastic accuracy in giving better understanding of the amazing people with ASD.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- I cannot possibly convey how much I truly love this book. It’s wonderful and sweet and hilarious! You just HAVE TO read this book!
🔥🔥🔥- The chemistry between Dorothy and Eli was crazy hot. They had some hilarious scenes because it’s Dorothy and something crazy always happens around Dorothy. Lol

i absolutely loved this book
"The spectrum is human. It's not autism.""I don't mind being me. No one else can do it better."- Dorothy MayhemThis book! Wow! ❤️❤️For a Jewel book to move to pretty much the top spot (second spot cause nothing will ever surpass When Life Happened for me) says that this book was phenomenal. Which it one hundred percent was.Absolute perfection. The neurodiverse character Dorothy was stunning, like I cannot even describe. She did this character to complete and utter superbness!! One million times over my absolute favorite female character from a book now. I seriously cannot say enough how well this character was done. Gold! Pure gold.This storyline was oh so wonderful. Eli was absolutely amazing. Everything he goes through and is still such a down right good person. Made me melt. 🥰I am still letting this book settle in with me. I devoured it yesterday and I know it's one that will stay with me for a very long time. Just speechless. So f***ing good. And I don't say that lightly.
