Review: The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

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
