Book description: Don Tillman, a brilliant but socially awkward genetics professor, creates the Wife Project, using a scientifically designed survey to find his ideal partner. Rosie Jarman, a spontaneous barmaid who is everything Don’s survey rejects, becomes an unlikely collaborator when he helps her search for her biological father. As they work together on the Father Project, Don discovers that love cannot be controlled by logic or science - it finds you when you least expect it.
