I read one of the most charming books on our vacation, and I’ve been dying to tell you about it.

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simison is a comedy and romance rolled into one. The protagonist, Don Tillman, is a brilliant scientist, who is incredibly honest and socially awkward, but somehow still very charming.

In a quest to find the perfect wife, he creates a questionnaire to weed out anyone who wouldn’t be a good match. When he meets Rosie, he immediately disqualifies her based on his test, but is intrigued after learning about her quest to find her biological father. The two form a strong friendship as she looks for her father and he searches for a wife.

Smart and funny, pick up The Rosie Project if you’re looking for something light, but well-written.
