Don is thirty-nine, a geneticist and he has some questionable social skills - but he's looking for a wife. As a scientist, he figures logic is the best way forward and devises an extensive questionnaire that will help him find his perfect partner. A friend sets him up with Rosie, a slightly eccentric thirty year-old who Don quickly dismisses as a potential wife. But they begin to spend more time together, and Don quickly realises that he is experiencing feelings that he cannot explain...
This was a delightful book. Just delightful. Both Don and Rosie are complex, interesting characters, and to watch them be thrown together and wait for the resulting chaos was truly interesting. I couldn't put this book down - it was full of twists and turns, particularly in regards to Don and Rosie's relationship.
Honourable mention must go to Gene - Don's best friend and complete womaniser. I would have liked to see more of his relationship with Claudia... an older couple in an open marriage isn't exactly a commonplace thing, and I would have liked to see this explored some more.
Overall, highly recommend! :)
