Perhaps a bit too much Don and his Don-ness

3.5/5

De algemene consensus is dat dit boek minder was dan The Rosie Project, maar ik vond het toch nog steeds te pruimen. Het neigt af en toe net iets te hard naar FC De Kampioenen misverstanden en toestanden, maar bon. Ik blijf Don een geweldig personage vinden en moest er nog een vervolg komen, dan vermoed ik ook dat nog zal lezen.

Didn’t live up to the first book for me but was still enjoyable

Don's in NYC now and his wife Rosie is with him studying her butt off. His nefarious friend joins them there and a life changing event has shifted the scales. Once again, he acts in an unconventional manner and missing social cues which leads to mayhem.

This time around, it wasn't as charming as the first, but still enjoyable.

2.5 stars Didn't like this book. Mainly, didn't like Rosie and how she treated Don.

Entertaining but not as good as the first one. My laughs were few and far between whereas in the first one I had many laugh out loud moments. I also felt like Rosie was unfair to Don throughout most of the story...it's not like she didn't know what she was getting into when she married him.
