The Rosie Project
Genetics professor Don Tillman approaches the search for a wife as a research project, complete with a questionnaire designed to eliminate incompatible candidates. Rosie Jarman fails nearly every criterion but recruits his scientific expertise to identify her biological father. Their unpredictable investigation disrupts Don's carefully scheduled routines and reveals the limits of judging relationships through supposedly objective data. Funny and affectionate, this romantic comedy suits readers who enjoy unconventional narrators, opposites-attract chemistry, social misunderstandings, and stories in which personal growth means expanding a life without erasing the traits that made it distinctive.
