Chris Cleave, bestselling author of Little Bee and Gold As the novel makes its logically irrefutable progression, readers will become enchanted by what may well be the world's first rigorously evidence-based romantic comedy." " The Rosie Project is an upbeat, quirky, impertinent gem of a read. Fans of the TV show The Big Bang Theory will see shades of Sheldon and Penny in these characters." - Library Journal "Readers will root for Don and Rosie throughout Simsion's delightful romantic comedy. Polished debut fiction.A sparkling, laugh-out-loud novel." - Kirkus Read-out-loud laughter begins by page two.With Asperger's growing visibility in pop culture in recent years, as on CBS's The Big Bang Theory, this novel is perfectly timed." - Publishers Weekly The Rosie Project is a moving and hilarious novel for anyone who has ever tenaciously gone after life or love in the face of overwhelming challenges. Don's Wife Project takes a back burner to the Father Project and an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing the scientifically minded geneticist to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie - and the realization that love is not always what looks good on paper.
She is looking for her biological father, a search that a certain DNA expert might be able to help her with. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent - and on a quest of her own. She will be punctual and logical - most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver.
In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which he approaches all things, Don sets out to find the perfect partner. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and he embarks upon The Wife Project. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a "wonderful" husband, his first reaction is shock. He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty with social rituals has convinced him that he is simply not wired for romance. Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date.
