This romantic comedy by Australian author Graeme Simsion has been sold in many countries and would make a fun movie.
The narrator, Don Tillman, is an obsessive, socially-challenged genetics research professor. I could not help but envision him sometimes as the TV program characters "Monk" or Jim Parsons as Sheldon in "Big Bang Theory". He had only a few friends and no luck attracting a "suitable" woman. After deciding he would like to marry and have a family, he develops a 16-page questionnaire to help find his ideal woman. The interview process certainly created some comic scenes.
Then Rosie seeks his assistance in finding her biological father. Even though she definitely does not meet his requirements for a girlfriend or wife, he begins to enjoy her company.
I laughed a lot at Don's idiosyncrasies and then his attempts to make some changes in his life. I hope a movie is made of this novel!
