He calls it 'The Wife Project'. His friends, whom he could count on the fingers of one hand, offer help. Enter Rosie, a woman so far removed from his idea of the ideal wife, she would f ...more

I absolutely loved The Rosie Project. It was charming and downright funny. The characters were engaging, endearing, quirky and funny. The writing was so good and the plot so much fun. I highly recommend this book and wish I had read it sooner. This book was a real pleasure.
