This was the first time I picked up a Graeme Simsion book and I was quite stunned. The writing style is so unique and witty, it kept me on my toes the whole way. I was eager to turn every page and before I knew it I had reached the end of the book!

Not much about the book can be revealed without spoiling the plot, but the story mainly revolves around a man named Don and his adventures of finding a suitable wife.

Don Tillman is not your average middle aged man. He is much more efficient, having his whole life planned out minute by minute. Due to this and his straightforward, not-so-normal behaviour, Don may seem hopeless of ever finding love, but as the story progresses you start to see the many layers of Don that peel away to reveal an insecure, lovable man.

One of the many unique things about this book is the hints about Don's Asperger's, which is one of the reasons I enjoyed it so greatly. Since it is written from the perspective of a (possibly) autistic person, it's quite hilarious to see his take on situations.

Don is completely socially awkward and absolutely hilarious due to his blunt way of saying exactly what he thinks, leading this book to tell no ordinary love story.

I completely fell in love with the character of Don Tillman and I guarantee anyone else will surely enjoy his well developed personality just as much. Overall, I'd say it's more of a comedy than a romance but definitely worth reading if you want something lighthearted and heart-warming. I will certainly be picking up another Graeme Simsion book very soon.
