Publisher's Summary

A first-date dud, socially awkward, and overly fond of quick-dry clothes, genetics professor Don Tillman has given up on love, until a chance encounter gives him an idea.

He will design a questionnaire - a 16-page, scientifically researched questionnaire - to uncover the perfect partner. She will most definitely not be a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker or a late-arriver. Rosie is all these things. She is also fiery and intelligent, strangely beguiling, and looking for her biological father - a search that a DNA expert might just be able to help her with.

The Rosie Project is a romantic comedy like no other. It is arrestingly endearing and entirely unconventional, and it will make you want to drink cocktails.

I felt very connected to the main character. So well written and narrated. Loved every moment.

Worth it!

Starts out slow and maybe a bit boring but stick with it. I ended up fully engrossed and was sorry it ended.

Narrator

I loved the story but the narrator putting on fake accents for Indian etc really left a bad taste in my mouth

Fantastic choice for my first audio book!

An exhilarating ride that tickles your funny bone and holds you in moments of thoughtful introspection. A delightful companion for a very long daily commute. The narrator gives an outstanding performance and holds your interest from start to finish adding layers to the story with his changes in voice and inflection. LOVED IT!

Loved this book.

I’m not a fan of hollywood/harlequin formulaic love story. They bore me stupid. I need characters who have some unusual (unique?) challenges and obstacles and stories, and secondary/tertiary characters who also don’t disappear when they turn sideways. This story was funny and a big t heartbreaking - in a good 3D human way. Really enjoyed it. And the narrator too. Well done.

Superb!

As a person with Asperger's syndrome myself, I found the book relatable and funny while being a tear jerker at the same time. Loved it! Highly recommend it!

Refreshing

The story is a pleasant change from the heavy reading that is my usual. I will enjoy the remaining Rosie books. I found myself engrossed and enjoying the chuckles, my sign of enjoyment. The narrator made for an easy, pleasant listen.

didn't get ending

Good all the way through but not obvious enough at the end. ...No idea who her father was and as it was too late at night, I was too tired to go back to review the details and find out 'who done it!,
