Howlingly marvellous... Gripping and inescapably bittersweet. - Boston Globe
Hits the mark... Real and relevant. - BookTrib
Guy Schermerhorn, a brilliant young professor of psychology and disciple of the pioneering Dr. Moncrieff, is making a name for himself on the talk show circuit with an unusual protégé in tow: a chimp named Sam. Sam lives in Guy's flat, wears diapers and neckties, devours pizza and McDonald's, and, through Guy's careful training, can communicate through sign language. However, living with Sam is wreaking havoc on Guy's personal life, and when shy, meek undergraduate Aimee Villard volunteers to babysit for him, he can't believe his luck. Aimee and Sam have an immediate rapport, and before Guy knows it, she's moved in, proudly devoting herself to Sam's care and Guy's project. Aimee has never known purpose and happiness like this; but when Guy's funding is imperiled and Sam is taken away by the sinister Moncrieff, her world falls apart. Aimee discovers just how far she'll go and what she'll risk to be united with the chimp she's come to love so much.
