Highly Satisfying submitted by vicki browne on July 2, 2016, 5:51am Solomon hasn't left his house in three years. Lisa is applying to a top notch med-school and feels if she can earn Sol's trust and get him to leave his house then she can wow the admissions department and get a scholarship. Turns out she and Sol become genuine pals. He opens up to her and eventually to her boyfriend Clark as well. Trust and loyalties take center stage as they work through some challenges. (Lisa)"The world is big and scary and unforgiving. But we can survive out here. Solomon Reed did. I held his hands and we counted to ten and it was beautiful. He was an astronaut without a suit, but he was still breathing."
one of my favorites submitted by umich.reader on July 9, 2022, 4:15pm This is one of my favorite books. Great characters.
Highly Illogical Behavior submitted by SBNB on June 9, 2023, 6:27pm This is a great book. It was an engaging story and very interesting to read, although I wanted to smack Lisa fairly frequently. I would definitely recommend it.
