Ray would be way more likable to me if he hadn't gone through Hannah's room and played with her underwear/read her diary, which goes beyond "brutally honest asshole" and into "really creepy."

In addition, there is rarely such a thing as a preternaturally gifted writer. Even if someone has talent, it takes a lot of work, effort, failure, and luck to really be successful.
