Not as good as the first one.

Learning the hard way that just because the first book in a series was fun and sweet and a good time doesn't mean that the rest of the series will be any of those things.

"All the magic is gone" is a good way to describe this book. I don't know what happened between the writing of "The Rosie Project" and this sequel, but instead of a whimsical, fun, and engaging story and characters, in this book the characters were flat and uninteresting, their decisions often seemed contrived, and I just didn't care what happened next. If I wasn't a finisher, I would've stopped reading this book partway through.

Sequel to "The Rosie Project". Rosie's pregnant and Don prepares in his normal way by screwing everything up. Not as cute as the first one but still a good read

Not as charming as its prequel, but a fun, if predictable, follow-up.

I didn't LOVE the Rosie Project but downloaded this second one as an audiobook for long road trip as I thought it would be easy listening. I don't know if it was the medium, but I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first one!

Amazing as always, teaches you it's okay to be who you are

DNF... 90% completed; I liked the first book, but the characters are no longer enjoyable. The author portrays female researchers as purely driven by personal motivations who are incapable designing ethical and rigorous studies without the input of a man. The patriarchal undertones were too much to motivate me to finish this book.

Definitely not as good as the first but I enjoyed it for the most part. I'm interested in seeing if more books appear in this series.

I loved the Rosie Project and was so excited when I saw there was a sequel! I do think I liked the first book a little better since Rosie bugged me a little bit with some of her decisions in the second book...but both books really made me think about how people are wired differently. I feel like I have more empathy for people that have a more logically wired brain after reading these books and would recommend them to anyone!
