Slick's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 One thing I have always appreciated about Ann Gallagher (AKA L.A. Witt, Lauren Gallagher) is the way she isn't afraid to tackle any subject manner. In All The Wrong Places she tackles the subject of asexuality and she does it very well; she explains without preaching and she educates without humiliation. After reading this book and doing some additional research, I feel I have a much better understanding of asexuality and all of its branches (for lack of a better term). I appreciated this very character driven story and feel it is an excellent example that a romance can educate and does not have to have sex in it to be enjoyable and entertaining. 
 When his third girlfriend tells him he wasn't meeting her sexual needs, Brennan Cross realizes he needs some help. Deciding that he really doesn't want to see a therapist he instead heads to the local adult store for some help and meets Zafir Hamady. After some tough questions and some heartfelt answers Zafir suggests to Brennan that he may be asexual like him. I appreciated Zafir's openness and how willing he was to share information with Brennan and how he recognized Brennan's distress over the information overload. From the start Zafir was kind, knowledgeable and understanding and while Brennan was stressed it was evident that he appreciated Zafir's help and kindness. I liked that Brennan took interest in Zafir's Muslim background and that he didn't judge him for becoming a parent at 17, his lack of education, or his sexual fluidity. The friendship that formed between them was pivotal part of this story and the foundation for everything that came after. 
 While at times this book seemed to move a little slow, it was imperative for readers to understand the bond that was growing between Brennan and Zafir and see how Zafir's son, Tariq accepted Brennan into their lives. For a 9 year old Zafir was very intuitive and intelligent, but he also was very much a little boy. Considering Zafir was 17 when Tariq was born it was evident he's done a great job of raising a well rounded and caring child. 
 Without the sexual interest it was interesting watching the relationship develop between Brennan and Zafir and there was no questioning that they became very important to one another or the depth of their emotional feelings for one another. 
 All the Wrong Places is an intelligent, well written and extremely informative story and I am so very glad I took a chance on it.
