Hilarity Ensues.A sequel, The Rosie Effect was released in 2014. Sony Pictures has optioned the adaptation rights of the novel, although nothing else is known of the project.

 Beta Couple: Don's friends, Gene and Claudia. An interesting example in that their relationship has its own share of problems wholly unrelated to those of Don and Rosie.

 Badass Bookworm: Don is a genetics professor who knows aikido and karate. He was able to disable two bouncers at a restaurant after a debate regarding his not wearing a suit jacket.

 Ambiguous Disorder: played with. Don is fairly obviously on the autistic spectrum, and he knows what autism is - the first novel opens with him giving a lecture on Asperger's Syndrome to a group of autistic children and their parents. But he resists being diagnosed as autistic himself until the end of the third book because, as he says, he has been offered many psychological diagnoses over a lifetime and doesn't want another one, especially as people's assumptions about autism are usually unhelpful.
