The Rosie Project: A Novel

Now in paperback, the international bestselling romantic comedy “bursting with warmth, emotional depth, and…humor,” (Entertainment Weekly) featuring the oddly charming, socially challenged genetics professor, Don, as he seeks true love. Arrestingly endearing and entirely unconventional, Graeme Simsion’s distinctive debut “navigates the choppy waters of adult relationships, both romantic and platonic, with a fresh take (USA TODAY). “Filled with humor and plenty of heart, The Rosie Project is a delightful reminder that all of us, no matter how we’re wired, just want to fit in” (Chicago Tribune).

Sweet story about Don Tillman, a socially inept genetics professor, and his search for a life partner. Enter Rosie, who meets zero of his "qualifications." Hilarity ensues. This was a quick, easy read--nothing too deep here. Although there are interesting links at the end of the book.

The Rosie Project has sat on my shelf for way too long. I finally got around to reading it, and it was a pure delight! I loved the main character, Don, and his straightforwardness, the challenges he faced as an adult with Aspergers. When I found out this novel had originally been written as a screenplay and then turned into a novel, I could definitely tell. It read so much like a movie, and I hope it is truly being made because there were so many scenes where I thought, "I would love to SEE this played out." AND it was set in Australia! It's a win win all around!

Quirky, funny, bizarre, annoying at times. A fun read.
