A review by julifischer
Milostné pletky Nathaniela P. by Adelle Waldman

5.0

I absolutely loved this book. Nate isn't an asshole – he often acts like one, and he knows it. He has deeply ingrained, ugly flaws, but he keeps that fact in mind at almost all times while he's unfairly judging others, and acting on those judgements. I dated someone just like Nate for six long, miserable years, and Waldman has done a startlingly good job at getting inside the mind of a man who loves women, yet belittles them, yet idolizes them, yet disregards them – basically, men who pine for women but want nothing to do with them. All the while, understanding that he's fucked up, and being unclear on whether or not that matters to him in the long run.
