Publisher's Summary

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.

Quirky and entertaining

I rather liked this book, surprisingly free of charge, but definitely worth the effort. Dan O'Grady gave effective credibility to the characters particularly the central one - a scientist on the autistic spectrum - with a rather charming view of love and what are his and others emotions. Quite a short book with more than a hint of irony - both highly entertaining and likeable. I could look further to this author and narrator. Definitely worth the effort.

a wonderful insight and delight to listen to.

Couldn't stop listening....But to get some sleep I finally turned off at 3 am. One of those books I didn't want to stop....been living off it all day today. a Nice bit of tension in the story helps keep it alive. The ending was in keeping with the main character.
A light story, well written, very enjoyable.
The narrator was a great choice and the pace was even and good speed.

Absolutely Brilliant from first sentence to last!!

I loved this book. The storyline was unique and the text captured the thoughts of the main character brilliantly and flawlessly. What a book! Fabulously narrated too.

Loved it

This is a touching story - funny, warm and an interesting perspective on finding love when you’re wired differently.

Fantastic book

Any additional comments?

Great story and very easy to listen too. I was so enthralled by the characters and the humour I didn't want it to end.

very entertaining

Some of the character's voices were a bit distracting. But the story line was wonderful and highly entertaining.

Hilarious.

Loved the characters and despite cringing at the main characters antics you can't help but love him.
So glad I gave this book a go.
