amyradak 's review for:
The Rosie Effect
by Graeme Simsion
Fun and funny, just like the first in the series, and even slightly more interesting because you couldn't be *sure* that it was going to all work out okay in the end. Overall a good read, though I found it painful at points to watch Don and Rosie's relationship falling apart before their eyes and Don failing to do anything meaningful about it. The gist of the story is that Rosie gets pregnant, Don is unsure how to emotionally respond to the news, and he and Rosie grow apart as Don prepares for the baby in all the wrong ways (aka hyper-logically, without providing any emotional support or indication of interest that Rosie can see). Add to the mix an unwanted long-term houseguest, the stress of Rosie's thesis, and a series of epic fails which land Don first arrested and then sentenced to marital counseling (all unbeknownst to Rosie), and an entertaining plot unfolds over the nine months of pregnancy.
