maria_ruth_jones 's review for:

3.0

insightful, witty and portrayal of literary / hipster social circles in brooklyn; i haven't come across another novel that rings as true to that particularly modern scene. A smart critique of how smart 'post-feminist' men with elite degrees can still be completely lousy to the women in their lives. But i couldn't get past how infuriating I found Nate, the lack of depth to any of the female characters, and how utterly unredemptive the ending is.
