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.

A little bit outrageous but still amusing. Almost lost me about half way through but I stuck it out. The hi jinks had me rolling my eyes a few times. Definitely enjoyed the first one more.
