My rating: 2/5 stars
After reading The Rosie Project at the beginning of this year, I really wanted to enjoy this book. However, I felt so disappointed with the outcome.
I found the whole thing boring, and at times I had to sit down and make myself read a large chunk of the book, because otherwise I knew that I wouldn't finish.
The only reason that I managed to give this book 2 stars was because I love the character of Don even though in this book, I found him predictable at times but sometimes a bit funny.
I really hated Rosie throughout this whole thing. I just didn't understand any of her reasons for leaving Don and then deciding to stay with him at the end. It was just so inconsistent and I felt so sorry for Don that he had to be put through that whole ordeal. He was obviously struggling with becoming a father, Rosie is not the only one who needs help when going through the pregnancy stages of having a baby. The father needs some support too and I don't think that Rosie understood that which led me to being so annoyed by her.
I am keeping this review short because I don't have many good things to say about this book and I do not want to start ranting.
I will say this though, The Rosie Effect should not have been written. It would of been much better if a chapter at the end of The Rosie Project was dedicated to explaining what their life was like and that Rosie was pregnant and just end it there. I feel that this has ruined the whole story for me.
