The Rosie Project review offers a flawed happy ending
Laura Farmer critiques Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project noting its adherence to a classic romantic comedy arc. Don Tillman, a genetics professor with Asperger's, creates The Wife Project to find a mate, but Rosie reveals that a perfect match may be opposite. The review cites cluttered subplots and a rushed finale that undermines Don's personal growth.
