Genetisist Don Tillman is looking for a wife, so he creates The Wife Project, a questionnaire looking to weed out any unsuitable women.

Don has Asperger's and finds it hard to behave in an acceptable manner.

He meets Rosie, who is everything his list says he doesn't need. Rosie has her own issues, and looks for Don's help. Can he throw the rule book away and see that Rosie is all he need?

As someone who has Asperger's, I sympathize with some of Don's traits, though in general his are more extreme than mine. I didn't realise there was an Asperger's slant on this and I was a bit, wary at how it would be portrayed. I found the book extremely enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone.
