The Rosie Effect (Don Tillman, #2)

by Graeme Simsion

My love for Rosie was so powerful that it had caused my brain to make a grammatical error.

Lovely !

She was presumably referring to the Jacket Incident on our first date, and confirming her recent selective memory for events that cast me in a bad light, even though she had been

amused at the time and come home with me.

But I had concluded that being myself, with all my intrinsic flaws, was more important than having the thing I wanted most.
