The Rosie Project - Graeme Simsion

April 1, 2019.

This is or was on my TBR pile at one point... it was a recommendation

started just now.

13 chapters down and this is funny. (view spoiler)[a questionnaire to short list women who would then be considered for the position of "Wife".

Don's first impression was of a rude and strict man but now as the story is progressing, I have started to like him but perhaps it is all because of Rosie. Still don't know why she agreed to meet him in the first place as they both are so different from each other.

This is "father project" rather than "Rosie Project" so far. (hide spoiler)]

Done and it was fun, specially Don with his antics.

(view spoiler)[the whole mystery about the father project and the extent to which Don went to get the samples was so fun. All the points that he put in his questionnaire but then he falling for someone who almost was a contradiction to most of the questions was a treat.

Gene and his wife were a great supporting characters. They never judged Don and always supported him, giving their own advice for the project wife. (hide spoiler)]

I'm in~

I'm approaching 50% I think and this is pretty hilarious... basically the serious way Don approaches everything... such as practicing with the mannequin... the 2nd time, I birst out laughing in the break room at work and didn't want to explain why :)

Faculty Ball: (view spoiler)[that dancing scene with Brenda is basically my worst nightmare and the #1 thing I hate to read/watch... but the way Rosie diffused the situation was great... I had mixed feelings about the revelation that Don did it on purpose to give Brenda an excuse to leave... (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[the reveal of Rosie's father ended up being what I suspected early on... altho that one twist made me wonder for awhile... (hide spoiler)]

4 stars for me...
