THE ROSIE EFFECT by Graeme Simsion

Finished Su 7/24/17

Janny loaned me this book in hardback because we both loved the first book so much. I think she picked this novel up at a garage sale.

I started this book a few weeks ago, but I got caught up in other novels. On Sunday I finished half of it in a three hour push- well worth the effort.

From Amazon-
" The highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel The Rosie Project, starring the same extraordinary couple now living in New York and unexpectedly expecting their first child. Get ready to fall in love all over again.

Don Tillman and Rosie Jarman are back. The Wife Project is complete, and Don and Rosie are happily married and living in New York. But they’re about to face a new challenge because—surprise!—Rosie is pregnant.

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.

As Don tries to schedule time for pregnancy research, getting Gene and Claudia to reconcile, servicing the industrial refrigeration unit that occupies half his apartment (owned by George, a drummer in a famous seventies rock band, helping Dave the Baseball Fan save his business, and staying on the right side of Lydia the social worker, he almost misses the biggest problem of all: he might lose Rosie when she needs him the most. "

Graeme C. Simsion FACS is an Australian author, screenwriter, playwright and data modeller.

I was surprised to learn that the author wrote the first novel, his first, when he was fifty. But, not surprised that his wife is a psychologist, professor, and also a writer of both fiction and non-fiction.
