Perfectly Adequate is okay ( trust me - you'll get that after you have read this book ). It's SO OKAY that I read it in one sitting. Sat down to read a few chapters, and then came up for air once I hit The End. I loved the humour, and the angst. The angst was so good.
I love Dorothy Mayhem. LOVE HER. She's hilarious, socially awkward, and says whatever is on her mind - brutally honest. I spent a lot of this book laughing at poor Elijah as he deals with Dorothy's level of honesty.
Dr Elijah Hawkins - still wondering where it all went wrong with his marriage 12 months on. Then Dorothy Mayhem enters his life and takes over all of his thoughts. Wonderful, quirky Dorothy, who both fascinates him and frustrates him in equal measure as he tries to figure out how to date her.
Perfectly Adequate gave me all the feels, especially in the second half of the book. I swayed between smiling, laughing and crying as Dorothy and Elijah navigate their relationship and their families. A great read, I really enjoyed it.

“It’s a ten star read for me” - New York Times bestselling author S.L. Scott
Dr. Elijah Hawkins needs … something.
After his wife jumps headfirst into a midlife crisis, he’s left with his young son, Roman, and a lot of unanswered questions.
That something turns out to be a someone—Dorothy Mayhem, nursing student, patient transporter, reckless driver, and emu owner.
Dorothy studies humans, the neurotypical kind, through books and television. Then she emulates their behavioral patterns to fit in with her peers.
But nothing can prepare her for Dr. Elijah Hawkins.
Single dad.
Brilliant pediatric oncologist.
And the sexiest doctor at the hospital.
When his failed attempts at asking her out turn into a string of playdates with his son, Dorothy finds herself unexpectedly enamored with the boy and his father.
And that’s a problem, a huge one, because Elijah’s ex-wife is a famous plastic surgeon—and Dorothy’s idol.
Perfectly Adequate is a beautiful, hilarious, and heart-felt journey along the “human” spectrum.
