And I was determined to show my father that I was that “who.” The man is my father, after all we share the same DNA. That’s what Kate thought - but I knew better. See, getting Anderson wasn’t just about putting on the best presentation, coming up with the best ideas. Remember my father’s comment? The one about Kate being the first one in the office and the last to leave? It stuck in my mind I’d like to say it was a mature contest between two professionalĪnd highly intelligent colleagues. One of my favorite scenes is how the “Olympic Games of Banking” was described when Drew and Kate are pitted against each other for an account:Īnd so it began - the Olympic Games of investment banking. What I really enjoyed was how these two characters, Drew and Kate were portrayed as true equals with overlapping strengths.
I saw someone comment the other day that every time they laugh at one of Louis CK’s jokes, they are a bit chagrined. I’m fully aware of this yet, I found this book compulsively readable sexy and hilarious. This isn’t going to work for everyone because of the aforementioned problems. Instead, his niece can aspire to be Kate Brooks.ĭrew’s appreciation for Kate, his admiration for her work, and their fierce office competitiveness is what redeems Drew for me. He refers to his sister as “The Bitch.” But he has great admiration for his sister, thinks his niece is the most amazing person on earth, and suggests that his niece can aspire to be more than a Disney princess. Drew’s assholish-ness is over the top at times and really there are lines that could have been edited out that would have a) reduced his unlikeability factor by 10 and b) not changed his overall character at all.įor example, Drew tries to praise Kate for not being mannish and thinks to himself “Hilary Clinton is mannish.” Ugh, no. He’s always been good looking, charming, and extremely wealthy. Drew finds out this news when he meets her.ĭrew’s an asshole because he’s never had to be nice.
We find out that she does so because she recognizes he is one of the partners in the hedge fund firm she is just hired on to join. He’d like to take her home with him for the night but she turns him down. At the end of the book I’m convinced that Drew walks around looking down at all the single players thinking that they are fools because they aren’t settled down and that they’ll never have a wife as awesome as his wife, Kate Brooks. Yet, every time that I think he’s gone beyond the pale, I’m drawn back in. Half the time he comes off slut shaming and half the time he comes off misogynistic. Tangled is narrated Drew, a horrible person. Jane B- Reviews business / Contemporary / opposite 12 Comments
