britelmer 's review for:

The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
3.0

I really enjoyed The Rosie Project and finished it quickly. I was really looking forward to starting The Rosie Effect right away. However, due to current circumstances, it took me almost a month to get my hands on the sequel. I don't know if too much time had passed since reading the first one or if it was because I was also reading a couple other books at the same time, but it took me a little longer to get through this one. I still really enjoyed Don, his quirks, and his unique way of seeing the world and solving problems. However, Rosie really began to annoy me and I just wanted to smack her several times. She was whiny and was always shutting Don down and seeming to forget who she was married to and that she would have approach things differently. She became a very selfish character. I am a sucker for happy endings and am glad everyone came to their senses at the end. Now that I have read the first two, I do feel that I need to read the last installment and that it would be worth the time to read.
