3.5 stars. Not as good as the first book. I felt myself annoyed at both Rosie and Don. Amusing at some points especially with B1, 2 and 3 and the conclusion after the emergency delivery with the air Marshall. I did cry at the end and found myself rooting for Don. On to the third book.

Really enjoyed the first book but this one had an entirely different vibe to it.

It feels like Don has been written to me more stereotypically autistic in this one and kind of makes him sound like a naive young man only just learning the way of the world, I feel like the parts I did read were just not in same spirit as the first.

It started feeling off when Rosie chose to stop taking the contraceptive pill behind her husband’s back, and after his meltdown on finding out he’s not angry at her for the lying, it was even further off when Dom chose to move apartments without consulting his pregnant wife and she only found out when she gets home and can’t access her home and she wasn’t angry.

I just can’t make my head believe that any couple from would make such big life decisions like that and it not be a problem, it’s even harder to believe it would happen this way with the couple from the first book.

I gave up entirely when he was arrested for recording children in the park. Are we really supposed to believe a middle aged man with plenty of experience in teaching and scientific research, a man who advocates for autistic children in the first book, would now choose to record a bunch of children in a park in order to learn about child behaviour? Instead of the many many many many other options (which would have been more efficient for him too).

Don Tilman is a lovable
character who is socially inept
and passionate to get the best
practical outcome for everyone.
Problem is he has to face the
often contradictory complexities
of people in his life which leads
to' hilarious chaotic situations.
Love the satire of relatable but
questionable human behaviour,
with LOL moments with Simsion's
witty humour

I can’t believe this book does not have five stars. !!!
