Milostné pletky Nathaniela P.
by Adelle Waldman
My biggest qualm, at the end of the day, is that the book has a perfunctoriness towards the end. There is a sense that Nate has emerged unscathed and his life goes on nearly unaware of the trouble left in his wake. Of course, that could be said about most of us - but our lives, like Nate's, continue on. It's hard to find a satisfying 'ending' when the story keeps going after the book is over. But if the book finishes not unlike the Hannah/Nate love affair, isn't that also an interesting authorial trick? Plus, you're not reading this book for the ending - you're reading it for the writing, for the incisive social commentary, and for the delightful sense of spending a bit of time inside the head of someone who probably seems not unlike somebody you know.
