The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

3.5

cute but ultimately forgettable. we read a snippet of this in my fiction writing class (the author is an alumni from my course!!) and then a few days later I saw it in an op shop so I had to buy it!! this is about a clearly autistic coded 40ish protagonist who decides that he wants a wife so he develops this questionnaire to help him find the perfect woman and can you believe that the woman he ultimately ends up falling for is someone that fits almost none of the parameters but she understands him in a way that no one else does???? this was not groundbreaking but I still enjoyed this story😊 I tend to not read romances written more than 5 years ago as they tend not to age well and I think that it's safe to say that my thinking is sound. I did, however, enjoy the protagomists voice and this also might be the first (hetero) romance book I've read by a man so that's fun! 3.5 stars
