Notes:Don Tillman is a genetics professor with Asperger's who frequently behaves in socially awkward and strange ways. Among other things, he plans every moment of his day. He decides he wants a wife and creates a questionnaire to eliminate candidates. Then he meets Rosie, a beautiful woman who definitely does not meet his criteria. But they become friends as he helps her try to discover the identity of her birth father. As time goes by, he finds himself intrigued, but he's convinced that he can't feel love. He determines to change his compulsive behavior and start acting less weirdly and, finally, realizes that the reason he's willing to do all that is because he does love Rosie. They get married after she tells him that she wants him to stay weird.

Reviews for The Rosie Project

Review - Rosie Project, The

The author has a decidedly liberal slant that was shoved on the reader over and over via short lectures. But the characters were interesting enough to keep me reading and, I'll admit, rooting for them.
