The Overbooked Book Club will meet to chat about The Rosie
Project by Graeme Simsion
This book club is geared to adults.
The art of love is never a science: Meet Don Tillman\, a brilliant yet so
cially inept professor of genetics\, who&rsquo\;s decided it&rsquo\;s time
he found a wife. In the orderly\, evidence-based manner with which Don ap
proaches all things\, he designs the Wife Project to find his perfect part
ner: a sixteen-page\, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinke
rs\, the smokers\, the late arrivers.
Rosie Jarman possesses all thes
e qualities. Don easily disqualifies her as a candidate for The Wife Proje
ct (even if she is &ldquo\;quite intelligent for a barmaid&rdquo\;). But D
on is intrigued by Rosie&rsquo\;s own quest to identify her biological fat
her. When an unlikely relationship develops as they collaborate on The Fat
her Project\, Don is forced to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is
Rosie―and the realization that\, despite your best scientific efforts\, yo
u don&rsquo\;t find love\, it finds you.
