lizziegoldsmith 's review for:

The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
1.0

"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.
