A review by jenbsbooks
The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
3.0
This didn't pick up RIGHT after the first book ended, but some months later. I don't think it's a spoiler (it's in the blurb) but this one is dealing mostly with Rosie's pregnancy, and how they are both dealing with it. The other characters have their issues too. Still some humor, but more seriousness, larger consequences. I get frustrated with characters misunderstanding, and there is that here.
Per peeks at several other reviews, many dislike Rosie. It is a tough situation, and marriage today does seem like a "temporary" thing so much of the time. It's hard? Not working? Just walk away. I know there is life/happiness after divorce too, I guess it's hard to know when it's worth it to fight, to stay true to vows and promises. Rosie and Don aren't the only ones struggling.
Went with the audio - Don is Australian, and there is a slight accent, but it's not super strong. Much of the action takes place in the US in this installment (as far as other character's voices).
Like the first - proFanity, slight mentions of sex/nothing explicit.
I am going on to book 3 ...
