Friday Book Giveaway! The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

This post was originally published at Novelicious.com and is now at WritingTipsOasis.com. WritingTipsOasis.com acquired Novelicious.com in June 2022.

We featured Graeme Simsion’s top five writing tips this week and Amanda argued that his debut novel is the best among Richard and Judy’s Spring 2014 Book Club picks. It’s fitting then that we give a copy of The Rosie Project away today – the perfect read for Valentine’s Day.

Meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially challenged professor of genetics, who’s decided it’s time he found a wife. And so, in the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs the Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a sixteen-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers. 

Rosie Jarman is all these things. She also is strangely beguiling, fiery, and intelligent. And while Don quickly disqualifies her as a candidate for the Wife Project, as a DNA expert Don is particularly suited to help Rosie on her own quest: identifying her biological father. 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.
