Don Tillman, profesor de Genetica nunca he logrado tener una segunda cita con la misma mujer y ha decidido poner en marcha el proyecto esposa. Ha creado un algoritmo perfecto para excluir las candidatas inadecuadas. Este libro es el informe cientifico del resultado de mi proyecto. Quien lo lea descubrira la respuesta a una pregunta fundamental: puede el amor cambiar la vida de un individuo como yo?
Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially inept professor of genetics, designs the Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a sixteen-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers. Rosie is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent, and on a quest of her own. She is looking for her biological father, a sarch that a certain DNA expert might be able to help her with. Don's Wife Project takes a back burner to the Father Project and an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing the scientifically minded geneticist to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie, and the realization that love is not always what looks good on paper.
