“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). When an unlikely relationship develops as they collaborate on The Father Project, Don is forced to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie―and the realization that, despite your best scientific efforts, you don’t find love, it finds you.Īrrestingly endearing and entirely unconventional, Graeme Simsion’s distinctive debut “navigates the choppy waters of adult relationships, both romantic and platonic, with a fresh take ( USA TODAY).

The art of love is never a science: Meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially inept professor of genetics, who’s decided it’s time he found a wife. The international bestselling romantic comedy “bursting with warmth, emotional depth, and…humor,” ( Entertainment Weekly) featuring the oddly charming, socially challenged genetics professor, Don, as he seeks true love.
