The main character is both very realistic and very unrealistic at the same time, but I think that's intentional. It's hard to believe, for example, that Nate could be so perceptive in some ways yet so dumb in other ways, but that's pretty much how it goes with the human condition.
Is this really how today's eligible bachelors think?! If so, then I am in deep trouble... If the author has indeed captured the thought processes and motivations of the average educated urban male, well then kudos to her.
I know the point is that I'm supposed to really kinda hate Nate, but dear god, that doesn't make listening to his endless self indulgent inner thoughts and drivel any easier to read. I can't really stand anyone in this book. Maybe that's the author's point/and showcases her skill. I just didn't really need a couple hundo pages to show me the depravity. I will say I learned some vocab words and that's about the only nice thing I can think of.
