About this listen

The Rosie Effect is the charming and hilarious sequel to Graeme Simsion's best-selling debut novel, The Rosie Project.

With the Wife Project complete, Don settles into a new job and married life in New York. But it's not long before certain events are taken out of his control and it's time to embark on a new project....

As Don tries to get to grips with the requirements of starting a family, his unusual research style gets him into trouble. To make matters worse, Don has invited his closest friend to stay with them, but Gene is not exactly the best model for marital happiness. As Don's life with Rosie continues to be unpredictable, he needs to remember that emotional support is just as important as practical expertise.

Join Don and Rosie in the next chapter of their weird and wonderful journey in Graeme Simsion's unmissable new novel, The Rosie Effect.

Critic Reviews

"Warm-hearted and perfectly pitched, with profound themes that are worn lightly, this very enjoyable read promises to put Don Tillman on the comic literary map somewhere between Mr Pooter and Adrian Mole." ( Guardian)
"Funny, endearing, and pure, wonderful escapism." ( Independent)
"Don Tillman is one of the most endearing, charming and fascinating literary characters I have met in a long time." ( The Times)

I think I preferred the first book (The Rosie Project), but still thoroughly enjoyed this book. Light hearted and an easy listen but still made you think. I would recommend both books in the series.

A great sequel

I really enjoyed listening to The Rosie Project and was looking forward to this book. It was just as good as the first, if not better. A brilliant read!

Absolutely brilliant

When I got The Rose Project for free back then on an audible promotion, I did not give it a chance after reading the summary. It looked silly and not worth my time. Then I was “cleaning” my library and listened to it. It was fun and impossible not to connect and cheer for the characters.

The Rosie Effect I purchased, and the author did it again. What a lovely story, again easy to connect to the characters and their ups and downs. Can’t wait to read The Rosie Result, already sad that it will mean the end of this great series.

It’s a delightful continuation to The Rose Project

Highly entertaining, funny, quirky , thought provoking , in fact the whole series is my all time favourite. Extremely well read , I highly recommend this to anyone who thinks about human nature , our differences and loves to be entertained . It is part two of a series of three . Start with the Rosie Project first .
I’m am totally enchanted .

Simply Brilliant!

I really enjoyed the first book, and this was enjoyable but not as good as the first. Just as many laugh out loud moments but also some cringe-worthy ones where if I could I would have shaken both Don and Rosie. Probably well written to evoke that emotion for the characters but not as enjoyable.

Funny, enjoyable, not better than the first book

I just love the whole thing I don't really have a favourite part but the whole thing was incredible!

The narrator was good! Awesome just good!

Must listen!
