Following inadvertent success with the Wife Project, Professor Don Tillman and his new bride Rosie have moved from Australia to New York. Although Don's position on the autistic scale is subjective, he still operates on a daily basis of structured procedures, lists and logic. Rosie can generally handle that but there are choppy waters ahead. With the patter of tiny feet imminent logic goes out the window as she struggles with her PhD while Don struggles to find his place in the baby production process. At least he has his drinking buddies to support him – an aging ageing rock drummer and a friend whose wife has thrown him out for infidelity. What could possibly go wrong?
Aussie author and screenwriter [[:Category:Graeme Simsion|Graeme Simsion]] totally wowed me with [[The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion|The Rosie Project]] which I still rate as the best rom-com novel of all time. I was therefore really excited to pick up this, the sequel. Is it ''as'' great? No, but that just means that it's good (and still very funny) rather than brilliant.
Don is as Asperger's/autistic spectrum as he was last time we met him and trying desperately to learn how to be a husband to the woman he loves. He still writes lists, has a meal system on which to structure his cooking and cannot tell a lie outright. (Although he's learning to do a good line in sidestepping issues.) However , life has it in for him with the arrival of his friend Gene from Australia.
It's all a bit of a misunderstanding really. Gene's wife Claudia doesn't understand Gene's experiment: to sleep with at least one woman from each country.
