The Rosie Project by Graeme SimsionMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 out of 5 stars - If you ask me, I'll tell you to read it.
I have really enjoyed re-reading The Rosie Project. It is a great story with some fun and well developed characters. I look forward to continuing on in the series with The Rosie Effect and The Rosie Result!
Don is a but different from everyone else. From the outside looking in, you can tell he is probably somewhere on the spectrum, but it's not mentioned. He's asked to give a lecture on Asperger's Syndrome, and when asked if the list of characteristics remind him of anyone, his response is a different professor. He has his life regimentally scheduled, including eating the same meals each week because he knows how long it will take to prepare them.
Don decides he would like a wife, so he starts "The Wife Project". This includes surveys to weed out all unsuitable possibilities... smokers, drinkers, low IQs, etc.
Enter Rosie... a "bar maid" who is sent to Don's office to ask a question to settle a bet. Don believes she is being sent as a possibility in "The Wife Project" and immediately asks her on a date. He soon learns that she has many characteristics that would disqualify her as a potential life partner based on the survey.
Rosie asks for help with a project, and the two begin seeing each other regularly to complete it. As they get to know each other better, they determine that perhaps what you're looking for isn't always the best possibility out there!
