The Rosie Project by Graeme Simpson—“very charming main character that will make you think about every quirky but kind person you might meet. There is a heart behind them.” “A brilliant yet socially challenged professor of genetics, who’s decided it’s time he found a wife).” “A brilliant, autistic-spectrum professor with no self-awareness or social skills sets out to find a wife using a detailed survey. Of course, in the process of his research he meets Rosie, who meets very few of his criteria, but teaches him that love does not follow rules.” “lovely, funny, poignant book about a professor with Aspberger's (although somewhat unaware he has it) and how he tries to find love and companionship...it sticks with you long after you've read it...One reviewer wrote "Touching and laugh-out-loud funny -- think The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time meets Silver Linings Playbook " “New Zealand-based Professor on the spectrum creates questionnaire to find a wife. Ends up meeting someone who meets none of the criteria, but for whom he develops what he can only assume are feelings. He becomes obsessed with her quest to find her birth father. A quick read (did it in a two days off and on), and a sweet story."
