He mentions that he notices Aisling’s and the “strangers” glances at each other… Why does he not bring it up right that minute? Not only that, but they all (him and his jilted ex-loves) look past the shittiest of comments. I guess maybe it’s because I do not have an issue with coming across as paranoid, but I didn’t understand why this guy never tried to talk to Aisling about his paranoia… Example being when they were out for dinner and the person at the table got a picture. Even more… why were these people not capable of removing themselves from being the butt of the joke. Why is it that none of these characters were capable of looking objectively at their situation and demanding better from their abuser. The entire story was so mind-boggling to me. My one and only issue with her was that she attempted to give a recovering alcoholic a vodka drink. Sure, she was a bitch for it… but really I couldn’t care less about that project. Her biggest sin was making him fall in love with her just so she could use him as a photo study for her photography project. Speaking of, Aisling is who this story is about, actually. Since finishing the book, I can’t help but feel that he was bragging that he, too, was at some point as cold and calculating as Aisling. To me, he just seems to bask in the glory of being capable of hurting all these people. Someone online said they felt he was “remorseful” for his actions towards women and I have to disagree. He states it likely stemmed from a unloving father and a touchy priest. He says cutting remarks, and does foolish actions. His whole scheme is to make them fall in love with him, then crush their souls. He’s a raging alcoholic who “enjoys hurting women” (mentally, not physically) at the beginning. So, if you haven’t heard, this book is about some dude that is a complete ass. Here’s the kicker- it really does! This book is very highly praised… and I don’t understand why at all. I literally had to stop 3 separate times within the first 70 pages of this book to check that it did have 5 star ratings out there. The entire thing just made me confused and irritated. Absolutely could not enjoy this book at all. Let me tell you why it took that long for me…. I just finished up Diary of an Oxygen Thief written by Anonymous and I’ve got to say it took me WAY too long to read this (less than) 150 page memoir.
