Book Blurb:

Robert is different. He has Asperger’s Syndrome. He experiences the world differently to 99% of the population. Follow his entertaining and highly empathetic story as he struggles to realise and accept who he really is, try to understand other people—which he cannot—and find a girlfriend. Especially find a girlfriend—he’s decided it’s his special project for the year. Accompanied on this transformative journey by his quirky flatmates, Chloe (who also has Asperger’s, amongst other things), Stef (who hasn’t, but doesn’t mind) and their oddly-named kitten, Robert endures a myriad of awkward moments in his quest to meet a nice, normal girl…and not even a major earthquake will stop him.

This absorbing and humorous story is starkly told from Robert’s point of view, through the kaleidoscope of autistic experience.

My Review:

Picture
Robert has Aspergers. This book follows his journey as he attempts to understand himself, be accepted by society and find a girlfriend. Finding a girlfriend is his special project of the year.

I’ll come right out and say it, I have Aspergers, although I am much more socially aware than Robert. None the less there were occasions when I saw myself in this story and I laughed so hard that I had to put my kindle down. I love books that make me laugh at an aspect of myself. Yes, this story is humorous, but at the same time it’s an education into the life of someone with Aspergers and what they go through on a daily basis.

I loved every moment of this. I’ll be reading the sequel and stalking the author.

    Author

    Michelle Abbott lives in the UK and hates describing herself in 3rd person.

    She writes new adult romance about heroes who fight against the odds and are protective of their girl.

    She's an avid reader of romance, is addicted to coffee and loves wine and chocolate, so yeah, not the most healthy eating and drinking habits :-) She spends way too much time online when she should be writing. She collects teddy bears and occasionally knits a couple of rows on a sweater she started years ago, which she may eventually finish in time to wear for her funeral :-)
