Ender Hemsworth has been called many things: Cock on Legs. Captain of Sigma Chi. Big man on campus. Star athlete at UC Berkeley. And he's always scowling like someone took a piss in his Cheerios.

Adelaide Vikander has been called one thing: Twenty Types of Trouble. And she likes to take the proverbial "piss" in Ender's Cheerios.

Reconnected

I had read Vivian's List and Liam's List a few years ago and enjoyed them both. I didn't, however, recall Ms. Lovell's name.

Bookbub offered me this book, and I liked what I read in the blurb, so I bought it. I'm glad I did. I'm glad because I got to reconnect with Ms. Lovell's writing. I'm glad because the book was well-written and entertaining, and mostly I'm glad because Ender was just the right type of hero for Adelaide.

Ms. Lovell has certainly either done her research or has had a close relationship with someone with Asperger's Syndrome. As a classroom teacher I have often had the opportunity to work with children on the spectrum, usually the more high-functioning students, and occasionally, I will have a child with Asperger's. Ms. Lovell's depiction was spot on.

My own eleven year-old son has severe autism and has recently had to move into a residence with full time help; he'd gotten violent over the years. As a single, older mom, I was unable to ensure either his, or my, safety, and the only option the U.S. offers is removal of the child from the home (at least where I live).

I appreciate Ms. Lovell's willingness to show someone on the spectrum being able to handle every day life. I thought Adelaide was charming, and Ender's whole attitude toward her was endearing. I would have loved to have seen more interaction with Edric.

So, I'm glad to reconnect with Ms. Lovell. She's become an author in my TBR pile.

Adelaide is different but when she moves in with childhood friends Ender and Edric to start college she can enjoy being herself!

Ender and Edric spent their summers at their grandmothers in Australia. It was there they met Adelaide, and she and Ender became bosom buddies. Now that it's time for her to start college the guys grandmother Camille, now Adelaide's guardian, has sent her to live with them and go to UC Berkeley. Having Asperger's syndrome has always made her different but college far from home gives her a chance to start out new. This story takes on Adelaide's journey to find the life she has dreamed of, with new friends and old and maybe love. Some may see her simply as different but Ender sees who she is inside and out and she is so much more than just a girl with Asperger's!

Very Good Read

Adelaide and Ender are characters that draw you in immediately. Adelaide's interaction with others is comical and throughout the story she has a positive impact on everyone she encounters. Her perspective on life is beyond refreshing. Ender is humbled by Adelaide's approach to life and a better man as a result of knowing her. We need more Adelaide's in the world.

The story line is well developed and once again, Ms.
