Publisher Description
With The Rosie Project, “Graeme Simsion achieved the impossible and created an entirely new kind of romantic hero,” Jojo Moyes, author of Me Before You said. Now Don Tillman returns in the hilarious and charming sequel to the international sensation. Get ready to fall in love all over again.
Don sets about learning the protocols of becoming a father, but his unusual research style gets him into trouble with the law. Fortunately his best friend Gene is on hand to offer advice: he’s left Claudia and moved in with Don and Rosie.
Picking up where The Rosie Project left off, The Rosie Effect is a fun, hilarious, and poignant read. “Don Tillman helps us believe in possibility, makes us proud to be human beings, and the bonus is this: he keeps us laughing like hell” (Matthew Quick, author of The Silver Linings Playbook).

“We hear plenty of stories about falling in love. What wedon’t often get, especially in romantic comedies, is the idea that marriagejust might be the beginning of the love story, not its culmination. As The Rosie Effect shows, sometimes it’spossible, and even necessary, to fall in love with your partner over and overagain…Many sequels falter, but this one is pitch perfect. It’s cute, but itisn’t cheesy. It’s extremely funny and clever, but not at the expense of thecharacters or as an insult to the reader…This book isn’t really about pregnancyor living with autism or moving to a new city. It’s about having your worldrocked when you really, truly have to compromise with another person. It’sabout how tricky that is, how hilarious that can be, and how beautiful it iswhen you pull it off.”

Quotes

“In his bestselling debut, The Rosie Project, Simsion introduced the delightfully original character of Don Tillman, an Australian geneticist with Asperger’s syndrome who sets out to find the perfect wife by using the scientific method. In the sequel, set in New York, Don takes on impending fatherhood in the same clumsy yet endearing way, with results both funny and moving. This charming new chapter in the Tillman chronicles leaves you hoping it won’t be the last.”
