3.0

*Sigh* I did not really enjoy this book. The main character is kind of a jerk - though he's intelligent, so it makes him question what's causing him to be a jerk, even as he is one. However, it had enough thought-provoking concepts and quotes about men vs. women approaches to relationships and dating in the 21st century that I begrudgingly give this a 3-star rating. Don't get me wrong: it's a well written book - I just don't enjoy character-driven books as much when the characters inherently annoy me.

My favorite quote from the book sums up my feelings about it: "I feel like you want to think what you're feeling is really deep, like seriously profound existential shit. But to me, it looks like the most tired, the most average thing in the world..."
