From the moment we meet Rosie, we know the ending we'd like but what will we get? It's one of those books that some would say is predictable whichever way it ends but the quality of the writing and the engagement we feel with the characters means that we travel with it every step of the way, greedily relishing each syllable of delicious moment as we're kept guessing practically till the last. Indeed, ''The Rosie Project'' is unique in that it's the sort of rom-com that isn't a 'women-only' province as it has plenty with which men can identify and chortle over just as well.

If you enjoy a guffaw or two, then we also heartily recommend [[Harry Lipkin, Private Eye: The Oldest Detective in the World by Barry Fantoni]], one of Britain's foremost comedy writers. We also enjoyed [[The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion]] and [[Elizabeth, William... and Me by S Lynn Scott]].
