The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
3.0

2.5 stars. I'm disappointed in this follow up to The Rosie Project, this book should have been really called The Rosie Miscommunication or What happen to Rosie? Which is what I wondering while reading this book I felt that Rosie was reduced to a guest start character, instead of one of the main characters in this story not only that but everything that made Rosie such a good and interesting character and made her relationship with Don such a delight to read in The Rosie Project was little to nowhere to be found in this book. Rosie was reduce to a plot device to create drama between her and Don which I didn't like, so many of the problems between them could have been fix sooner rather then later if they had both sat down and talked to each other about the how they felt and what they felt was going wrong. Instead page after page if one if not both of them lying, hiding and refusing to voice their concerns and fears to the other and taking bad advice from people who should have kept their opinions to themselves.
