This book was so much funnier than the first one. Loved every minute. Only thing that really bothered me was how many times Rosie was coupled with a version of the word “obey” adjacent to her boyfriend. It just felt so wrong. I get there was a sexual power dynamic and tension that went back and forth between them, but I still hated it. 

Her brother was an unnecessary character. 

Her parallel life and book life was a cute plot device.
