In The Rosie Effect we meet some of the same characters as in The Rosie Project - Don is just the same - at times sweet, at times infuriating, always logical while Rosie is somewhat pre-occupied with her thesis, her pregnancy and Don’s interference in how she lives because of her pregnancy. Although they are now living in New York, Don’s good friend from Melbourne, Gene, comes to stay for a period. He is NOT the same Gene we knew previously - he is full of (mostly) sound advice for Don.

Another delightful milestone on the journey of Don Tillman to true happiness, even though he mostly doesn’t recognise it unless it hits him in the face.

It says a lot about a book when I put it down and don't feel motivated to pick it up to continue reading. The first book was really enjoyable but this was a struggle.
