In the heartwarming and uproariously funny novel, "The Rosie Project," readers meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially awkward genetics professor on an unconventional quest for love. Convinced his scientific approach can solve even the most personal of problems, Don embarks on the Wife Project - a meticulously designed search for his perfect match, armed with questionnaires and a foolproof criteria list. Logic dictates his every move, leaving no room for late-arrivers, drinkers, smokers, or barmaids. Yet life's unpredictable nature throws him the ultimate curveball in the form of Rosie Jarman. Rosie, with her fiery spirit, disarray of habits that directly contradict Don's criteria, and a personal quest to find her biological father, represents everything Don believes he doesn't want. But as the duo embarks on the Father Project, an eccentric venture requiring Don's expertise in genetics, their unlikely partnership blossoms into an unforeseen exploration of love, identity, and the bewildering nuances of the human heart. "The Rosie Project" is a testament to the unpredictable joy of relationships, challenging the notion of scientific precision in matters of the heart with humor, warmth, and an unforgettable narrative.
