About the book
Set in New York, Graeme Simsion's 2014 sequel to The Rosie Project finds genetics professor Don Tillman and his wife Rosie newly married and settled in the city: Don teaches at Columbia while Rosie studies medicine and finishes her PhD. Then Rosie announces she is pregnant. Don treats fatherhood as a research project. Meanwhile his philandering friend Gene, who has left his wife Claudia, moves in, and Don also juggles a refrigeration unit filling half his apartment, a struggling baseball fan named Dave and a social worker named Lydia. It is the second book in a trilogy that ends with The Rosie Result.

The hilarious follow-up to The Rosie Project, one of the best novels I’ve read in ages. There’s no sophomore slump here. Simsion brings back some of the best characters and gags from the first novel while also bringing in enough new elements to keep it fresh. It’s a funny novel that also made me think about relationships: what makes them work and how we have to keep investing time and energy to make them better. A sweet, entertaining, and thought-provoking book.
