This was a very enjoyable, but highly predictable, read. The main character and narrator, Don, has Aspergers Syndrome, which made the voice of the narrator and story-telling unique, and I was engaged in the story-line from the beginning. I liked quirky Don, and I, like his only friends, Claudia and Gene, wanted to see him find a woman that was right for him. This is the main plot point: whether or not Don will find a woman that is a good fit for him, since his Aspergers makes him awkward in social situations and very regimented in his daily life. I knew from the beginning, as I'm sure pretty much anyone can figure out from the title, who the object of Don's affection would end up being, and the entire plot is pretty predictable, including who is Rosie's biological father. The predictability did not detract from my enjoyment of the book though, and I would definitely recommend it for someone looking for a cute love story with an unconventional main character.
