The Rosie Project / Graeme Simsion
4.33 stars (average over 3 reads)

2015 read: Don is a professor and has only three friends. He is extremely socially awkward. He decides to start “The Wife Project�� and comes up with a questionnaire to filter out any unsuitable candidates. His friend Gene goes over some of the applicants to help Don out and sends over Rosie. Don can't figure out why Rosie, as she is completely unsuitable!

I loved this! Don and his never-ending quirks... It's a fun, humourous, happy read. I did feel badly for Gene's wife, though.

2016 reread: The first time I read this, I gave it 5 stars. I think I felt similarly as the first time throughout most of it and last time, maybe upped my star rating for the ending. This time around I’m leaving my rating, overall, at 4 stars. It was still enjoyable and still humourous, and to be honest, I’d forgotten most of what happened in the book, which was nice for a reread. This time around, though, I do think the 5 stars was a bit too much.

2020 reread: This is my 3rd time reading this (the 2nd and 3rd times for different book clubs). I gave it 5 stars the first time around, and I suspect that was mostly due to the ending. The 2nd time and this time around, it’s a 4 star read. It is quite enjoyable and amusing. I listened to the audio this time, for something a bit different, and thought the narrator was quite good.
