The Rosie Project
A quick, quirky, delightful read- this is the best way I could possibly describe this amazingly cute read.
Though I love watching rom-com movies, I was quite hesitant to read one. But the constant good reviews of it on GoodReads got to me and I did decide to read it. And to my surprise, it had me laughing since the first page and soon I too was in love with the characters.
The book is written from the perspective of a Genetics Associate Professor, Don Tillman who is reticent, follow by the rules type of a person. It was refreshingly different to read from the brains of the strangely wired Professor, whose logics regarding life were humorous
and his candid approach towards all made him a living, breathing faux pas machine!!
His life is centered around his schedule and budging from it is the rarest of the rare opportunities in his life. A man of predilection for logic and reason, he only believes in science. Being a middle-aged man approaching his forties, he decides that he wants to marry and so embarks on his Wife Project. For this, he forms an in-depth questionnaire for all the qualities he is looking for in his future partner.
But then he meets Rosie. A feminist, a smoker and most of all a vegetarian who only eats sustainable sea-food, she is nothing that he had ever imagined. However, even though he had ruled her out in the first date itself, their rendezvous continued because of Rosie's quest to find her biological father of whom no one knew except her mother who is now apparently dead. Hence, began the Father Project which took them both for an unexpected roller-coaster ride.
The rest will be a spoiler as any true rom-com lover can guess the future of their relationship.
But it was definitely a nice light, easy-breezy read after the heavy dose of All The Light We Cannot Se. Even I like the rest of the fans of this book was constantly rooting for Don and Rosie!!
