   Don Tillman, trentanove anni, brillante professore di genetica, decide che è tempo di trovare una moglie. Così, con l'approccio scientifico con cui affronta ogni cosa, dà il via al Progetto moglie. Sedici pagine di questionario gli permetteranno di escludere le candidate inadatte: fumatrici, ritardatarie, schizzinose... Rosie Jarman è tutte queste cose. Ed è anche stranamente seducente, appassionata e intelligente. Ovviamente bocciata per il Progetto Moglie, al quale per altro non è interessata: infatti, vuole che Don, in quanto esperto di DNA, la aiuti a rintracciare il suo padre biologico. Mentre collaborano al Progetto padre, tra i due matura un rapporto improbabile, e Don sarà costretto ad affrontare la consapevolezza che, nonostante tutti gli sforzi scientifici, non si può trovare l'amore... perché è l'amore a trovarci.

2. The Rosie Effect

   • Graeme Simsion

   The Wife Project is complete, and Don and Rosie are happily married and living in New York. But they're about to face a new challenge because -- surprise! -- Rosie is pregnant. Don sets about learning the protocols of becoming a father, but his unusual research style gets him into trouble with the law. Fortunately his best friend Gene is on hand to offer advice: he's left Claudia and moved in with Don and Rosie. As Don tries to schedule time for pregnancy research, getting Gene and Claudia to reconcile, servicing the industrial refrigeration unit that occupies half his apartment, helping Dave the Baseball Fan save his business, and staying on the right side of Lydia the social worker, he almost misses the biggest problem of all: he might lose Rosie when she needs him the most.

3. The Rosie Result

   • Graeme Simsion

   Until ten years ago, geneticist Don Tillman had never had a second date. Then he developed The Wife Project and met Rosie, 'the world's most incompatible woman'. Now, having survived 3,653 days of marriage, Don's life-contentment graph, recently at its highest point, is curving downwards. Don and Rosie's ten-year-old son, Hudson, is having trouble at school: his teachers say he isn't fitting in with the other kids. Rosie is battling Judas at work, and Don is in hot water after the Genetics Lecture Outrage. For Don, learning to be a good parent as well as a good partner will require the help of friends old and new. It will mean letting Hudson make his way in the world, and grappling with difficult truths about his own identity. It will also mean opening a cocktail bar.
