I just finished reading this book

Frankly speaking, when I picked up this book
I expected it to be quite a sob-story
Since it's from a man's perspective about the time of '
mourning' after a horrendous break up
No...his girlfriend did not die in an accident or got leukemia....
She just dumped him for someone else.
I was
curious as to how the author would describe
Charlie (the main character) dealing with his break up with Sarah
and how different would it be from those women-focused novels
where the lady cries incessantly and goes emotional at the expected moments
OR
she goes around finding other guys to hook up with and finally realizes her folly
Either way...I was curious.
Well, I got my answer...
sort of...
I noticed that Charlie did not cry or even regretted his actions after Sarah dumped him
Instead, he went to Crete
To get foolishly drunk
And flirt around with girls a decade or two younger than him
In the process, he became emo a few times by wandering around the city
And met this amazing woman, Donna
Lo and behold, they end up together....
How awesomely predictable *yawn*
But it makes me question...
Are guys all that shallow??
Apparently, Charlie's life was all booze and babes
To top it all off, he was already heading towards 40
Is that all there is to a guy's psyche?
Booze and babes??
No wonder they say women think too much
......which is what I'm doing.....
LOL
