This absorbing and humorous story is starkly told from Robert’s point of view, through the kaleidoscope of autistic experience.
Robert is an aspie (Person who has Asperger Syndrome) and has a different way of seeing things then most. This year he has made a goal for himself: Find a girlfriend.
I just loved this book. When I was first offered to get a ARC of this book and I saw the description I was happy to come across this book. I am an Aspie and I rarely come across books with a aspie in it. So one thing I loved about it was that I can relate to the character in some of Roberts actions. There was many awkward, cringe worthy moments. This book was hilarious and I couldn't help but to laugh out loud. (Which at the time wasn't a good thing being that I was in public reading this book. Got some people looking at me like I was crazy.) I loved the characters, I liked how quirky his friends were, I loved the Kittens name and the jokes that came with it. There was never a dull moment and I just couldn't put it down. Overall this is a great book and I highly recommend!

I know it's weird that with how common autism is there's not more books on the subject in YA/NA. I would definitely like this one too it sounds great and with wonderful characters, too! Great review, Jessica!
