I loved The Rosie Project and I can't wait for the movie. I love Don Tillman and his hilarious wife, Rosie, so I knew I would live the Rosie Effect. I got a digital library loan of the novel, which was my first read in OverDrive. I'm not sure I like it as well as I like reading Kindle editions, but it did give me the added satisfaction of letting me know I opened the book just 25 times and finished it in 6 hours and 36 minutes. And what a fun six and a half hours those were. (I read most of by a fireplace as a winter storm pounded the Northeast Ohio Lake Erie shore.)
In this sequel Rosie is pregnant with a baby she and Don had not discussed having together. His quirks and idiosyncrasies as a man and husband look as if they will be exacerbated by the responsibilities of parenthood. I laughed out loud many times while reading about the troubles Don manages to get himself into. It is hard to believe that until recently Graeme Simsion was a name associated with the theory of data modeling and not a popular author. Everyone I know who has read The Rosie Project loved it and I will be recommending the Rosie Effect for a long while to come.
