I really enjoyed this book. I most liked how well the novel demonstrates how we project own insecurities and fears upon others, and often get it so very wrong, with unfortunate, even tragic, results. This, for me, was the message of the book, told well with humor. Characters were self-centered, yes, but that was part of the humor, and I did find myself liking them as fallible humans. Maybe I'm cynical, but I don't think the characters were all that unrealistic. It's just that in real life we hide things very well, often even from ourselves.
