I read it. Think it was a free kindle download (or poss 99p). Enjoyed it a lot as an easy read - apparently they're making it into a film.

A scientist who currently sounds like he may suffer from a form of autism, and has devised The Wife Project.
'We survived the meal without her criticising me for any social errors. Its very difficult to conduct a conversation while wondering whether you are looking at the correct body part but I locked onto her bespectacled eyes, as recommended by Gene. This resulted in some inaccuracy in the eating process, but she did not seem to notice.'

When Rosie Jarman comes to his office, Don assumes it's to apply for the Wife Project - and duly discounts her on the grounds she smokes, drinks, doesn't eat meat, and is incapable of punctuality.
