Title: The Rosie Project
Author: Graeme Simsion
Genre: Contemporary fiction
Pages: 295
Published: 2013
Summary: Don Tillman is a brilliant, yet socially challenged
professor of genetics who’s decided it’s time he found a wife. So he designs
the Wife Project to find his perfect partner – a sixteen page questionnaire designed
to weed out the drinkers, smokers and late arrivers.
Rose Jarman is all of these things and while Don quickly
disqualifies her as a candidate for the Wife Project, he begins to help her in
her quest to find her biological father.
As an unlikely relationship develops, Don is forced to confront the
spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie and despite your best scientific efforts,
you don’t find love, it finds you.
My Thoughts: I LOVED this book. It had such a cute and original premise and
the characters were so endearing, I just couldn’t wait to find out how it
turned out. It was a quick, fun read and
probably my favorite part is that Don doesn’t even realize how OCD he is. I love a book full of quirky characters and
this had them in spades. I would
recommend this book to anyone (and I have been quite forceful in convincing
people to try it!!). So what are you
waiting for – go get yourself a copy!!!
My Rating: 5/5
