1* BaseBreakingCharacter: Is Lalitha a SatelliteLoveInterest-cum-EthnicScrappy? Or a refreshingly non-neurotic badass?
2* BrokenBase: This is after all the work that led Jennifer Weiner to coin the phrase "Franzenfreude." There are those who think it is deservedly called a masterpiece and a Great American Novel, and then there are those who think that's a just a kneejerk reaction to an otherwise plodding, cantankerous book full of unlikeable characters.
3* {{Squick}}: Joey, [[IdiotBall having accidentally swallowed his wedding ring]], has to dig through his own feces to find it.
4* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHerBack: Patty and Walter's reunion at the end could be viewed as an AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther moment, or an EsotericHappyEnding. Patty's autobiography leads the reader to believe she always loved Richard more than Walter, as demonstrated by her affair with him. Walter for his part seemed much happier with Lalitha than he ever was with Patty. Neither is a CompleteMonster, but the conclusion that she and Walter are ultimately soulmates is questionable.
