Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a "wonderful" husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and Don sets out to find the perfect partner. She will be punctual and logical - most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver. Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent - and on a quest of her own....

Narrator is Great!

Loved this book and the quirky but relatable protagonist. It took me just a bit to get the hang of the style of the book and who all the characters were but after that, I really enjoyed it!
Only taking off a star for the story because the ending felt extremely rushed where so much detail was given throughout the rest of the book. I even had to look up some stuff because I didn't quite get it at first and found I was not alone in feeling like it ended abruptly and confusingly.
The narrator did an amazing job.

If you're the White parent of a transracially or internationally adopted child, you may have been told that if you try your best and work your hardest, good intentions and a whole lot of love will be enough to give your child the security, attachment, and nurturing family life they need to thrive. The only problem? It's not true. What White Parents Need to Know About Transracial Adoption breaks down the dynamics that frequently fly under the radar of the whitewashed, happily-ever-after adoption stories we hear so often.

I don't know how this book has made it to the top of recommended reading lists for prospective adoptive parents. This book is an angry rant against adoption by someone who cannot be pleased. I know adoption is complicated and not some butterflies and rainbows ideal scenario. But this book is just not helpful. I really cannot understand how so many people have read this and thought it is. The author is very clearly against adoption despite claiming she is not. She is making sweeping assumptions about people who adopt. I am on the third chapter and not wasting my time any longer. I went into it with an open mind, ready to make heart adjustments as needed, but this author did not come at this book in the same way and the entire thing is biased.
