The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
The novel centers around Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially awkward genetics professor who has never been on a second date. Convinced he is simply not wired for romance, he embarks on the Wife Project - a scientific test to find the perfect partner. Enter Rosie Jarman, who is everything Don is not looking for: she's impulsive, fiery, and working as a barmaid while searching for her biological father. When Don agrees to help Rosie with her own project, his orderly, evidence-based approach to life is turned upside down. Through a series of unconventional encounters, the pair embarks on an endearing journey that challenges Don's perceptions of love, partnership, and what it means to be "normal."
