I see the appeal and really hoped to get into this. But I was bored to tears unfortunately. I will probably see the movie when it comes out - but 100 pages in, I just couldn't get into this book. Too bad - since it's so loved!

Big Bang Theory meets Along Came Polly. Totally laughable and I enjoyed every minute! So much so that I was actually smiling to myself while reading it!
I loved the unique and charming characters - Don's with his endearing yet practical quirkiness, Rosie with her rough vulnerability and Gene and Claudia with their unconventional marriage. Everything fit together so well.
There were no slow or boring bits for me, and I was laughing right up until the end.

This book is a heartwarming story that skillfully combines humour, romance, and personal growth. The protagonist, Don Tillman, navigates the complexities of love, relationships, and the unpredictability of life.
The author's storytelling ability clearly shows through his captivating plot. Don, a socially awkward genetics professor, decides to approach finding love scientifically by creating the "Wife Project." His meticulously planned quest takes an unexpected turn when he meets Rosie Jarman, a spirited and spontaneous woman who challenges his carefully structured world. Their interactions are full of wit and charm, leading to hilarious and heartwarming situations that will keep you turning the pages.
What sets the book apart is its exceptional character development. Don's traits, which include his precision, adherence to routines, and unique perspective on the world, make him an unforgettable protagonist. His growth throughout the story, as he learns to embrace the unpredictability of life and let go of his fixed plans, is beautifully portrayed. His vulnerability and his genuine desire for connection make him a character I could not help but root for.
Rosie, with her lively personality and free-spirited nature, provides a perfect counter to Don's logical mind. Her influence on Don's life brings about moments of self-discovery and personal transformation. The chemistry between Don and Rosie is unmistakable, creating a fascinating dynamic that keeps the story entertaining.
The author's writing style is both accessible and engaging. His ability to infuse humour and heart into every page is commendable. The writing flows effortlessly, and will bring out a range of emotions, from laughter to empathy.
One of the standout aspects of this book is the underlying message: that love and human connection cannot be limited to scientific formulas or society's expectations. The author explores the beauty of embracing individual differences, breaking free from routines, and finding love in the most unexpected places. It will leave you with a renewed belief in the power of authenticity and connection.
If you're looking a touching and uplifting story that challenges traditional notions of love and inspires personal growth, then "The Rosie Project" is an absolute must-read.

anyone with a slight knowledge of genetics would know who the father is. the other emotional and unconventional characteristics were enjoyable.
