    The continuation of the characters, not just stubbornly resisting the paths laid out before them, but consistently ignoring the changes that occur to them is painfully frustrating for the reader.

    Worse, it is not an accurate portrayal of a group of friends. Particularly friends who have grown up almost as brothers. Their unwillingness to discuss what is happening even among themselves rings false.

    However, Matt who has the potential to be such a great character, just continues to act...well, like an idiot. 

     

    It does become frustrating for us to read, but sadly this is how most humans really behave. Maybe you're a youngish person who grew up in a milieu where it's the norm to open up and discuss your feelings. That's not true of most eras, ages or eons, or most societies, even today. Especially for men, but that's how I grew up too (female, here :)).

    As for Matt ... well, I know many people like that, including myself in many ways. I don't think he's badly written at all. Have you never had a friend that you just want to slap upside the ear because they continue to be their own worst enemy, despite their potential?
