Title: The Rosie Project
Author: Graeme Simsion
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Summary: Don Tillman is a Genetics Professor. While he's brilliant, his social skills are a bit lacking. Example: He's created a questionnaire that he's titled The Wife Project. The questionnaire is designed to help him identify his perfect mate and weed out women with undesirable qualities. Enter Rosie. She's looking for her father and seeks Don's help to help her identify him. Rosie doesn't fit Don's profile of the perfect mate at all, yet he can't get her off of his mind. Maybe love isn't as simple as answering all the questions correctly on a survey?
Review: This is a great beach read, especially for rom com lovers. I waffled between three and four stars and finally landed on the four. It was amusing more than funny (at least to me, maybe I don't get Australian humor?), but it's still cute. It's obvious where the story is going and at times it feels like the author dragged out the ending a bit, but still a light easy read for the summer and it's fun to see Graeme's transformation. He tries really hard to be aware of social cues, but it's hard for him.
