Hootman, Ramsey

Strong characters and a twisty plot offer plenty of appeal, but Robin and Cyril's uneasy alliance-turned-friendship will especially resonate with readers.

Hootman gives readers a refreshing, original love story about two socially awkward yet utterly fascinating people. Fans of John Green's quirky lovers in The Fault in Our Stars or this year's hot adaptation, Matthew Quirk's Silver Linings Playbook, will want to check this one out; arriving just in time for summer, it will make a perfect beach read. Highly recommended.
