![]() ![]() ![]() I wondered how she could be so selfish and oblivious. ![]() She think that it's a crime he won't be spontaneous and risky. At one key scene in the book she practically throws a tantrum because he won't have sex with her in public at a work function where if he were caught he'd lose his job and his reputation. Tess dumped Nick initially, before the book began, because he wouldn't have sex with her in a parking lot. ![]() And she kept wanting to just love part of Nick, the things she liked, instead of all of him - she didn't want to accept the good with the bad. This isn't the first book I've read where do-gooder translates to well-meaning but ineffectual.or where idealism is hard to separate from immaturity. He likes the whole package - messy, disorganized, idealistic, passionate, spontaneous. His banter with his secretary is priceless, and although he can be a little clueless he's adorably soft on Tess and really appreciates her for who she is. He's ambitious, which I think is sexy, but he's a really nice guy. It's a typical opposites attract sort of plotline - Tess is a do-gooder raised on a commune, Nick is a lawyer who grew up poor and decided he wasn't going to grow old poor. ![]()
