About this listen

The art of love is never a science.: Meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially inept professor of genetics, who’s decided it’s time he found a wife. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs The Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a 16-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers. Yet, Rosie Jarman possesses all these qualities. Although Don easily disqualifies her as a suitable candidate (even if she is "quite intelligent for a barmaid"), he is intrigued by Rosie's own quest to identify her biological father. When an unlikely relationship develops as they collaborate on The Father Project, Don is forced to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie and the realisation that, despite your best scientific efforts, you don’t find love, it finds you.

Bloody brilliant

I don't usually read this genre, but I got the novel for free and it turns out it was brilliant! Can't wait to read the sequel

Fabulous book. Loved it immensely. Well read by Dan o'Grady.

Laughed out loud so many times.

The character was cleverly portrayed-different but entirely sympathetic.

Wasn’t expecting to love this book

Couldn’t stop listening to this book, I got interested in the characters very quickly. I could imagine a movie or a series being made because I had the visions of Rosie and Don in my head. Easy listening as well

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to friends. I'm not normally a fan of fiction, however this was fantastic.

I loved this book, such a good story around social protocols. Highly amusing in spots where I literally laughed out loud.
