10年前,遺傳學家小唐從未有過第二次約會的機會,為了結婚,他精心擬定長達16頁的超完美擇偶計畫,因此尋找到夢中情人蘿西─一個和他性格和生活習慣完全相反的女酒保。經歷3,653天漫長的婚姻生活,小唐的幸福人生曲線圖從最高點瞬間掉到最低點。
小唐和蘿西有個10歲大的兒子Hudson,似乎是校園中的問題人物,因為老師認為他並不適應群體生活,加上妻子蘿西跟同事不合,小唐又再遺傳學講座中大發脾氣,這一切的事件都令小唐頭痛不已。對小唐來說,學習成為一個好父親和好伴侶一樣困難,他需要各界好友的幫助與支持。而Hudson即將面對的是學習尋找自己的人生方向及自我認同。
而對蘿西來說,唯有再開一家酒吧才是解決一切問題的根本。
The Rosie Result is the triumphant final instalment of the internationally bestselling series that began with The Rosie Project.
Until twelve years ago, geneticist Don Tillman had never had a second date. Then he developed The Wife Project and met Rosie, 'the world's most incompatible woman'. Now, having survived 4,380 days of marriage, Don's life-contentment graph, recently at its highest point, is curving downwards.
Rosie has just returned to work and is struggling with an obnoxious co-worker. Don, meanwhile, is in hot water after his latest lecture goes viral. But their real worry is their son, Hudson, who is having trouble at school: his teachers say he isn't fitting in with the other kids.
For Don, learning to be a good parent as well as a good partner will require the help of friends old and new. It will mean letting Hudson make his way in the world, and grappling with difficult truths about his own identity.
It will also mean opening a cocktail bar.
Hilarious and thought-provoking, with a brilliant cast of characters, The Rosie Result will have readers cheering for joy.
