Mary Frame. Createspace, $8.99 trade paper (196p) ISBN 978-1-4954-7318-0

Perfectly imperfect characters and situations make Frame%E2%80%99s debut novel sparkle. Dr. Lucy London is the quintessential child prodigy with no clue how adults navigate social, non-academic situations. She%E2%80%99s also on a tight make-or-break deadline to prove her theory that emotions are nothing more than pathogens. Enter the perfect person for her to study and also practice her newly acquired social skills on: Jensen Walker. The mysterious Mr. Walker is Lucy%E2%80%99s neighbor, a student at the university and, if school rumor is to be believed, the perfect ladies%E2%80%99 man. While some of the ensuing misunderstandings are predictable, there%E2%80%99s a very real sense of character growth, brought to life by an evolving narrative style that parallels Lucy%E2%80%99s metamorphosis. The blend of humor and heart makes for a thoughtful, highly entertaining read. (BookLife)
