Until a year ago, forty-one-year-old geneticist Don Tillman had never had a second date. Until he met Rosie, 'the world's most incompatible woman'. Now, living in New York City, they have survived ten months and ten days of marriage.
But though Rosie has taught him the joys of unscheduled sex and spontaneous meal planning, life is still not plain sailing for Don. Not least with the sudden arrival of his best friend Gene, serial philanderer, who takes up residence on their sofa.
Then Rosie drops the mother of all bombshells. And soon Don must face her hormonally induced irrational behaviour as he prepares for the biggest challenge of his previously ordered life - at the same time as dodging deportation, prosecution and professional disgrace

Da den socialt handicappede Don beslutter at finde en kæreste, udarbejder han et spørgeskema og iværksætter "Projekt Kone". Rosie er lige det modsatte af, hvad han søger. Men et venskab opstår mellem dem, og Don begynder at opleve følelser, som han ikke kan forstå.


En rigtig sjov bog. Jeg grinede højlydt flere gange. En chicklit med noget ekstra.
Hele bogen er gennem Dons øjne og med hans ord, hvilket virker rigtig godt til historien. Vi bliver ikke fortalt om Don, men oplever derimod det hele igennem ham. Han mindede mig meget om Sheldon fra The Big Bang Theory.
