The Little Things
October 28, 2015

After reading and loving The Rosie Project, I immediately added The Rosie Effect to my holds at the library. The Rosie Effect is the sequel to The Rosie Project, and picks up a few months after the first book ends. I love when I get attached to characters and get to continue to follow their story, and this book didn’t disappoint!

The Rosie Effect Book Review

While the first book is about Don’s quest to find love, The Rosie Effect follows his journey after he has found love… and of course it can’t be all smooth sailing. Rosie and Don have now moved to New York City, and are adjusting to new jobs and a new group of friends as they enjoy their first year of marriage. The book continues to follow Don’s journey in understanding social norms and the proper way of behaving in relationships, and that leads to some hilarious misunderstandings along the way. I loved the start of the book and then I hit a point about half way through where I wasn’t loving the book quite so much, but by the end I was completely hooked again! The sequel isn’t quite as good as the original, but I think it’s still worth the read.

Here’s a quote:

“Rain Man! I had seen the film. I did not identify in any way with Rain Man, who was inarticulate, dependent, and unemployable. A society of Rain Men would be dysfunctional. A society of Don Tillmans would be efficient, safe, and pleasant for all of us.”

I gave it a 4 out of 5 on Goodreads. If you’re interested in other book reviews or suggestions, check out my book reviews page.

Now it’s your turn to share! Do you like book series or do you prefer individual books? Have you read either of these books yet?
