From the back cover: Sandra Foster studies fads, from Barbie dolls to the grunge look--how they start and what they mean. Bennett O'Reilly is a chaos theory scientist studying monkeys' group behavior. They both work for the HiTek corporation, strangers until a misdelivered package brings them together. It's a moment of synchronicity--if not serendipity--and they find themselves in a chaotic system of their own, complete with misunderstandings, a million-dollar research grant, caffe latte, tattoos, bobbed hair, Browning, and a series of coincidences that leaves Bennett monkeyless, fundless, and nearly jobless. Sandra intercedes with a flock of sheep and an idea for a joint project. (After all, what better animal to illustrate both chaos theory and the herd mentality that so often characterizes human behavior?) But scientific discovery is rarely straightforward and never simple, and Sandra and Bennett have to endure a series of setbacks, heartbreaks, dead ends, and disasters before they find their answers.

I really liked this book a lot. It was just extremely well-written and plotted. The romance plot was subtle but satisfying. The science was not overwhelming. And I really liked how everything ended, even though I had some suspicions about what would happen.

This was a very interesting read. I think some of the science terminology was over my head, but it didn't interfere with the plot. I liked the romance thread in the plot, but it didn't take over. One of my favorite things about the book was the description of a different fad at the beginning of each chapter. I figured out bits and pieces about the ending, but couldn't piece them all together until I was finished.
