Is The Rosie Project Worth Reading?
Ada’s Score
Graeme Simsion's charming debut novel follows Don Tillman, a genetics professor with highly systematized thinking and zero social intuition, who devises a sixteen-page questionnaire to scientifically identify his perfect wife. When the wildly unsuitable Rosie walks into his life, everything he thought he wanted begins to reconfigure. The novel is romantic comedy at its most delightful — warm, funny, and genuinely moving beneath its absurdist premise. Simsion captures the awkward beauty of human connection with remarkable tenderness.
“Don Tillman is one of fiction's most endearing heroes. A rom-com with actual heart — the kind that sneaks up on you completely.”
