"Desperate to find a soulmate in New York City, Shawn experiences one awkward date after another until he encounters the alluring Violet. He asks her out, but his autism prevents him from understanding she's actually a prostitute. Drawn in by his kindness, Violet appreciates Shawn's quirky nature but conceals what she does after dark. Shawn soon imagines Violet could be his perfect wife while Violet thinks Shawn could be her ticket to a new life. This comedic tale of two misfits takes a dramatic turn when they face an unexpected crisis. Their only hope for a future is to discover the courage that comes from loving someone deeply." -- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Perhaps it was a little apparent that this had been a screenplay adapted into a novel, but I enjoyed the feel that this created. We didn't get a lot of insight into the characters' thoughts and motivations which was effective especially for Violet. However, we didn't get much backstory on characters, which could have added to the story. Amanda's role especially was confusing and I wasn't quite sure how things had ended for her.
The subtle humour thrown in, both through jokes in the vein of Shawn's grandfather and in Shawn's mannerisms and in the way he misses many social cues, was very effective in not only making me laugh but also in giving me a glimpse into how Shawn viewed society.
I was pleasantly surprised by how though this was relatively light-hearted the whole way through it also touched on deeper issues, specifically sexual trafficking and treatment of people on the autistic spectrum.
This is definitely a romcom of a book, and while it wasn't particularly sophisticated, it was worth reading.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. ( )
