I hate to do it but I have to give this book 1 star. It was such a disappointing follow-up to [b:The Rosie Project|16181775|The Rosie Project (Don Tillman, #1)|Graeme Simsion|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1371651741s/16181775.jpg|22084678], a novel I really enjoyed. Rosie's character is completely unlikeable and her actions really didn't feel true to character; I find it hard to believe that she would disregard everything about Don that makes him Don.
I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first in the series. There was definitely still some humour and some touching moments but I found myself frustrated with many of the situations. Rosie's pregnancy throws Don for a real loop and I found myself frustrated with Rosie for springing this on him (she stopped taking her pills without discussion). The Sonia-posing-as-Rosie parts were funny but I really just wanted a resolution (though Don was trying not to stress Rosie out). Overall, it was a good book, it just wasn't in the same level as the first in the series.

What a funny enjoyable book , gently mocking relationships & pregnancy preparation while being deeply empathetic to neuro-diversity.

Meh. Nowhere near as good as the first one. Also, I must pass on the fact that the neurotic villain was a social worker.
