About this listen

Dorothy Mayhem is a nursing student, patient transporter, reckless driver, and emu owner.

She knows she isn't like other girls. Neurotypical people are nothing if not predictable, though, and that's why she has made a hobby of studying their behavior through books and TV. It helps her fit in with her peers when she can emulate them.

But nothing can prepare her for Dr. Elijah Hawkins. He's a single dad, a brilliant pediatric oncologist, widely agreed to be the sexiest doctor at the hospital, and entirely unpredictable.

Though getting to know the man behind the chiseled features and top-notch reputation would be her pleasure, Dorothy misunderstands one attempt after another to ask her out. Instead of dates with Elijah, she finds herself on a series of playdates with his son. Roman is cute, sweet, and brings her unexpectedly closer to his father every day.

Dorothy Mayhem is about to find out that the only thing more unpredictable than a child is love.

Fans of The Kiss Quotient will love Perfectly Adequate, a heartfelt and hilarious journey along the human spectrum from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jewel E. Ann.
