<\/span>Don is a genetics professor. He’s a creature of schedules, rules and routines.
\nThough never explicitly stated he’s obviously somewhere on the high functioning end of the autistic spectrum.
\nAfter a disastrous date Don decides to initiate The Wife Project. A futile attempt to apply rationality to matters of the heart. His life and the book takes a turn for the screwball comedy when he meets Rosie and starts helping her identify her biological father.
\nThis a fairly enjoyable romantic comedy that I picked up after seeing on sale cheaply in my local Tesco.
\nI felt that the portrayal of the inner mental workings of Don’s mind was a bit stereotypical and didn’t really feel authentic.
\nA decent little romance, worth reading if you have a fondness for screwball comedy.<\/p>\n
