“It’s natural to be wary of a novel that’s been the target of such gushy praise. But unlike its unexpectedly lovable hero, this rom-com is bursting with warmth, emotional depth, and intentional humor.” (A–) It’s not surprising that debut novelist Graeme Simsion has a background in science-The Rosie Project, already a success in Australia, seems almost precision engineered to keep readers turning pages. There’s a new brilliant, socially inept scientist poised to win over a huge audience, and his name is Don Tillman, in The Rosie Project. “Sometimes you just need a smart love story that will make anyone, man or woman, laugh out loud.” “Filled with humor and plenty of heart, The Rosie Project is a delightful reminder that all of us, no matter how we’re wired, just want to fit in” (Chicago Tribune).
