![]() ![]() ![]() These characters have grown and changed and Us is about the next chapter in their lives. It’s a different story and I liked it just as much as the first one and for much the same reasons but not because it was a repeat of the first story. ![]() I’m happy to report that Us is not Him revisited. Because I trusted you ladies enough to read it. And in fact, I decided not to read The Rosie Effect for that very reason (and some of the reviews I read indicated that was a good decision.) So I left Don and Rosie just where I wanted them and nothing messed with the HEA.īut what if Us was as good as Him? What if it was all the things I liked about Him but a different story and also wonderful? And this is where reader trust comes in. I thought it about The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect. This is a thing I think about any story where there is an unexpected follow up. Because what if it wasn’t as good? What if it was pretty much the same story? What if, if I didn’t like Us, it soured my memories of Him? None of that is a reflection on what I think of your writing skills. So I admit I was a little dubious when I heard there would be a follow up book, Us. In fact, it made my favourites list for 2015. ![]()
