Swati Tanu's Reviews > The Rosie Project

“I asked you here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

"The Rosie Project" fits quite comfortably into the romantic comedy genre. A sparkling, laugh-out-loud novel. This is a story about a geneticist Don Tillman who lives a very very very organised life and is socially awkward. He meets Rosie. She on the other hand is exactly the opposite of Don. The best thing in the book is the progression of the main character's life and personality. The author Graeme Simsion says in an interview that he is "on a mission to make men read more novels", not sure how's that going but it definitely kept me glued till the end.

I had picked this book when I was looking for some light read which would help me to fall asleep, but Oh My God! once I started to read, it was really hard to stop. Throughout the read, it cracked me as well as compelled me to think about different perspectives.

It will always be one of my favourite reads and will re-read it at different stages of my life.
