The Rosie Project

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion 295 pg.

This book is a lot of fun.  Don Tillman is a brilliant professor of genetics but socially he is a little bit "off" or maybe on the spectrum.  He does realize he has oddities but isn't willing to go off schedule for too much self reflection.  Don figures it time to find a wife so he comes up with a questionnaire that with rigorous analysis, find him the perfect mate.  Rosie shows up as a reject from the pile but she has a project of her own.  She is unsure of the identity of her father but knows he was in the same graduating class of medical students as her mother.  Don and Rosie embark on a series of adventures to collect DNA samples from the potential fathers so Rosie will know the truth.  Although Don already knows from the poor results from his wife questionnaire that Rosie is not a suitable mate, he finds himself having a really good time with her.  No need to spoil the ending, you will see it coming a mile away but you will also have so much fun getting to the end.
