Down-to-Read: The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

*****Summer Shortlist Pick!*****

If you’re looking for an ‘off the beaten path’ romance, I highly recommend “The Rosie Project,” #1 bestseller and first novel by Graeme Simsion.

Socially awkward genetics professor Don Tillman can’t seem to figure out women. He’s tried lots of times before, but to no avail. It’s not just women; Don has a difficult time making connections with anyone. Perhaps it’s because he’s always saying the wrong things. Perhaps it’s because his standards are too high. Perhaps it’s his extremely rigid personal schedule.

To solve the riddle, Don devises the Wife Project, an intricate and detailed questionnaire designed to filter out the wrong candidates and lead him to his perfect match. Don’s convinced he’s finally on the right path to finding a wife.

Don doesn’t know it yet, but he’s about to meet the love of his life in the form of Rosie, a mysterious woman who’s on a quest of her own: to find her biological father.

What ensues is one of the most unconventional romances. Not so much a romance at all. At times more of a comedy. But in the end the perfect book to cuddle up with on the beach this summer!
