The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.
by Adelle Waldman
In the Stacey Wants a 10 Point Rating Scale on Goodreads, this still only gets 2 out of 10. I had high hopes for this, but even reading it as a strong critique on the self involved, super entitled, emotionally inept manchild that is all too pervasive in today's society, I still wanted to rip out my eyeballs.
I don't mind a book that has little plot; but in order for a no-plot book to work, the character study needs to be impeccable. This is a character who excels at navel gazing and basically nothing else. Again, even as a societal commentary, it needs to go SOMEWHERE and this went absolutely nowhere. A disappointment to be sure.
