The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
5.0

This book was quickly recommended to those who are fans of the Kiss Quotient and I can see why. It centers on another make love interest with Autism. The Rosie Project takes place in Australia and follows Don Tillman, a famed geneticist, who decides to approach his love life like a scientific experiment. During his “trials” he meets Rosie, a bartender searching for her biological father. They quickly become friends despite Rosie not meeting any of his criteria. The journey is hilarious and shows love can’t just be a bunch of checkmarks on a piece of paper. While I felt like the author didn’t do as much due diligence to create a non-stereotypical autistic protagonist, it’s still a sweet rom-com that made me laugh out loud multiple times while reading. Definitely a favorite of the year!
