The Rosie Project

I loved this book! It was a quick read that both made me think and made me laugh out loud. I feel like it was a timely read too as we just saw a play called The Curious Incident of a Dog at Nighttime with an autistic lead character. Although I have not had direct experience living with this type of person I am struck by how difficult it must be to deal with the constant “overwhelm” and the need for routine makes a lot of sense. The intense honesty of Don's character also sheds light on some of the relationship rules that are taken for granted but may not make sense if we take the time to really think about them. Great book.
