The Rosie Effect

Simsion writes from the perspective of Don Tillman, a good-hearted man with a little difficulty understanding neuro-typical people. I read The Rosie Effect before I read the Rosie Project, so this book has a special place in my heart. It had me laughing aloud while reading in bed. Love the characters, and the writing brings the events to vibrant, crazy, confused and hilarious life. For a respite from the real world and an affectionate insight into the world of someone on the autism spectrum, this book is a delight.
