Warren, the novel’s narrator and protagonist, is initially characterized by his playful, immature, and mischievous nature; he’s sarcastic, plays pranks, and watches porn. His relentless need to push buttons, especially Bridgette’s, creates much of the novel’s humor and early conflict. Warren’s personality sets him apart from other male romantic leads; he is not brooding or overtly serious but instead relies on humor as both a coping mechanism and a means of connection. His pranks, though often childish, reveal a fundamental truth about his character; he enjoys getting reactions from people. This makes Bridgette, with her sharp wit and hostility, an irresistible challenge.
Despite his jokester persona, Warren is far more emotionally intuitive than he initially appears. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that his teasing and pranks are not just for amusement but also a way of breaking through Bridgette’s emotional walls. Where others are put off by her coldness, Warren sees past her tough exterior and recognizes her fear of intimacy. His persistence in getting to know her is what ultimately allows Bridgette to open up.
