Synopsis: A brilliant mind needs a strong heart.
Mathematical genius Dr. Meg Brightwood has just completed her life’s work—a proof of a problem so impenetrable it’s nicknamed the Impossible Theorem.
Reclusive and burdened by anxiety, Meg has long since been dismissed by academia. Now everyone wants to get their hands on what she alone possesses—especially her own mathematician father.
Having grown up a prodigy in a field plagued by sexism and plagiarism, Meg opts for a public presentation so there will be no doubt of her authorship. But a panic attack obliterates her plans. In defeat, she goes home and locks away the one and only manuscript of her proof.
Then chance sends her the unlikeliest of Isaac Wells—carpenter, high school dropout, in trouble with the law. And the one love of Meg’s life. Fifteen years ago, they did little more than hold hands. Now, they find a tenuous space where they can love and be loved for who they are—not who the world expects them to be.
But when Meg goes to retrieve the Impossible Theorem, she finds it missing. Her fight for the achievement of the century will test the limits of her brilliance and the endurance of two vulnerable hearts. (Synopsis from Goodreads)

My Thoughts: One of the things that I'm not good at is math. Math just never clicked in my brain. I can do basic math, but anything more difficult, ask someone else. I appreciated that Meg was so good at math.
I enjoyed this one. Meg had family issues. It was never about celebrating her as a person, but rather a competition of accomplishments. The world of academia sounds like no fun at all.
I enjoyed Meg and Isaac reconnecting and teaming up. I wouldn't say this book is first and foremost a romance, it is more about Meg gaining confidence and coming into her own. Isaac is a great support system.
I can see a lot of people enjoying this one.
Before she started writing fiction, Sara got a degree in Women’s Studies from U.C. Santa Cruz. She tried the nine-to-five life for about a nanosecond before moving to rural Virginia to become a flute-maker’s apprentice and traditional fiddle player. Some years and two babies later, she returned to school for a Masters in Nursing. A cancer survivor herself, she now has the distinct privilege of caring for cancer patients. She is a cofounder of #momswritersclub and lives in Charlottesville with her husband, two teens, a terrier, and three snarky cats.
