My Heart Is an Idiot: Essays by Davy Rothbart

3.0

While these stories/essays are at times amusing, I find Davy intolerable. He seems to fancy himself a romantic and intellectual, but he really seems mostly delusional. He falls in love (which I suppose is the point) with every girl and wants to make grand gestures, but in the same breath talks about cheating on these women he is "in love with" with astounding regularity. His "charm" seems to be that he's an idiot, but I don't think I'd want to meet this person, and certainly can't identify with him. This book seems to ask us to get to know him, he craves being honest with people, but reveals himself to be a terrible person-just begging to still be loved.
