Enter Rosie - 'the world's most incompatible woman' - throwing Don's safe, ordered life into chaos.
But what is this unsettling, alien emotion he's feeling? . . .
Review:
Ok so when this book was chosen by the ladies as our Romance book for july i have to say i wasnt looking forward to it.The blurb didnt make me want to read it and if it hadnt been a book club choice i would not have picked it up. Personally i did not enjoy it, it was an ok read but i have no desire to finish the triology or find out what happened to Rosie and Don. But it turns out i was the minority! The rest of the ladies quite enjoyed it.
The general consesus was that it was good to see a Neurodivergent as the main character and the narrator in a book, that the persepective was good and rare to see. Some ladies thought it was laugh out loud funny and others that it was genuinly amusing but mostly because it had points that were just stupid.
It did cause alot of discussion at our meeting and some shareing of stories that were similar to some of the escapades of Rosie and Don.
In short whilst it wasnt my cup of tea (not every book will be) but it was the majorities cup of tea, and it was fairly easy to read i read it over two days whilst looking after my small human. And i will leave it at that because as i said i did not enjoy it.
Book club score - 6.5/10
