This book was nowhere near as good as the first one. Many of the things played for laughs (primarily social misunderstandings due to Don's neuro-divergency) were genuinely serious issues, and I just couldn't find them funny. Also, the middle dragged and the end was wrapped up in a matter of 2 short chapters. On the other hand, a lot of things I loved about the first book (the witty inner monologue that Don has, mostly) were there, and there was a lot more of a sense of genuine love between Rosie and Don, which I never felt in the first book. This one was a lot more emotionally tumultuous and heartwarming.
