Better Nate Than Ever discussion

I for one, loved this book. I thought it was hilarious, mostly realistic, and just overall a good read. So, this conversation is just to talk about the book. Here are some questions to start it off.

What do you think of the fact that like Nate's mom, Andrew also drinks without consent of their parents?
Do you think it would be better for Nate if he stayed with his Aunt and Freckles instead of going back to Pennsylvania?
Do you think New York is really as great as Nate claims?
Do you like the book overall as much as I did?
Was it realistic to you?
