Summary of The Rosie Project:
Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially challenged professor of genetics, decides it's time to find a wife and settle down. Don decides to approach the task in the same orderly, evidence-based manner with which he approaches all things. The result is a 16-page questionnaire meant to weed out unsuitable matches. Don dubs his quest The Wife Project and sets off to find the woman that will meet his requirements in this hilarious debut novel. Then he meets Rosie, who is everything he’s not looking for but might just be his perfect match.
