Wow, this book is just as humourous as the first one. And I can see how selfless Don is trying to be, in his way. I did, however, spend quite a bit of the book wanting to slap several people, one of which was Rosie. And as I mentioned in my review of the first, you don't get a clear picture of Rosie and in this case, I kind of wish I had had a clearer picture of what she was thinking and feeling. Nevertheless, quite the entertaining read.

(2,5 stars) I didn't enjoy this book as much as The Rosie Project... and that's a shame! I was very excited to read this book but about 50 pages in I lost interest. It's all about Don and his problems and Rosie seems like a dull supporting character in this... and what made the first book so good is the chemistry between her, a fiery character, and Don, someone who is stuck in a calender. It wasn't the worst book I've read, but I will not be reading the third book.
