ABOUT THE BOOK:

A romantic comedy, The Rosie Project is narrated by the fictional Don Tillman, an oddly charming and socially challenged genetics professor on an unusual quest: to find true love. As he sets out to find the perfect wife, he knows what she will not be: a barmaid, a smoker, or a late-arriver. Yet Rosie Jarmon is all these things. Rosie is looking for her biological father, a search that Don might be able to help her complete. Soon an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing Don to confront the whirlwind that is Rosie.
