 This is the most adorable, heart warming book that I read this year. 
 Don Tillman is not your traditional leading man. He's socially awkward (which may be putting it lightly) and he is extremely focused on his routines and patterns. Often at the cost of personal relationships. He's the last person you would expect to be at the centre of a love story. And Rosie, the female protagonist, is the last person you would expect to be on the other side of that love story. She's everything that Don Tillman is not - she's impulsive, she's reckless, she's edgy. But despite all that they come together and and you spend the whole novel cheering for them. I think that's what makes this book so great. It's unexpected, it's unusual but at the root of it all it's the love story we all know and adore - just told in a new way. 
 This is hands down one of my favourite books of the year and I can't wait to read more from Graeme Simsion.
