Oh My God! What a book! What a story!
I love Don Tillman to death 💚💚💚
I have love-hate feeling to Rosie but in the end I love her more than I hate her

Sebelum review lebih lanjut, ku nyesel nunda-nunda nyelesaiin buku ini 😢 Sebenarnya bukan nunda-nunda juga sih, tapi memang pas mulai baca buku ini, mood membacaku malah menurun drastis. Tapi akhirnya selesai juga dan I love the story!!!

I love how scientifically Don is. I love the way he thinks. I know he is like that because he differently wired but this book has its own charming with Don as center character because he is different.

Suka sekali dengan plot twists yang ada di dalam ceritanya. Dan endingnya pun duuuuhhhh I was surprised but sebenarnya ku sudah menduga akan si A adalah si B's ****** hahahaha Ku tidak mau spoiler, silahan baca sendiri.

Berencana akan baca buku kedua dan ketiga, tetapi tidak dalam waktu dekat.

Very entertaining. I laughed out loud throughout this book but still found it very moving at times.

funny lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

While I found the main character to be an oversimplification and stereotyped version of what a person of autism looks like, I still found the actual story to be endearing (albeit predictable). Light and fluffy, basic click lit, but still entertaining and fun.

The book follows Don Tillman, an highly intelligent man who is struck by the notion that he must find a wife. Socially inept and a little awkward, Don devises a questionaire to narrow his search, the "Wife Project" to suitable candidates only. By fate, he meets Rosie, a quirky and unpredictable woman who is completely unsuitable. He agrees to help her find her biological father, and this joint venture teaches Don about love, friendship and how life was meant to be lived without a schedule.

A lot of people remark on Don's resemblance to Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory." I likened him more to BBC's Sherlock; though highly intelligent, his lack of comprehension of emotions and humanity sometimes cloud his judgement and understanding of the world. His charm and quirkiness make him not just likable, but endearing. The Rosie Project is a lovely, charming, quirky romantic comedy, about the trouble we go to just to find love.
