Synopsis
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.

My Review
PERFECTLY ADEQUATE:
Is a full length, contemporary romance novel by Jewel E. Ann. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.'
God where to even start with this review!! This story was so unexpected, unique in every way, sweet, adorable, with such heartwarming and funny moments thrown our way all made for such a fun carefree read..
Dr. Elijah Hawkins has been divorced for a year mourning the life he once had and till this day he's still left in the dark as to why it all ended, one minute life was great the next it wasn't. His ex wife quickly sought out a new life, without him by her side.
Dorothy Mayhem, is the hospitals patient transporter with the all present eye catching shoes. From the first moment Elijah first set eyes on her he left with a big smile on his face, she was completely unexpected.
Dorothy is plagued with ASD which makes it extremely difficult for her to gauge social cues making interacting with others challenging which sets her a part from everyone else.
I truly loved Dorothy, she was awkward, quirky, completely off base with some of her interactions but god did I love her, she's like no other character I have ever encountered.
So when the hottest Doctor in the hospital takes an interest in her she's in a frenzy not completely believing that he would be that into her, which make for many a giggle to escape.
