I don't think that Rebecca is a bitch. I think he's focusing on how wild and and free spirited she is and even though some of the things she does could be negative to someone else he loves her all the more for it. Sometimes that's what love is about. You wind up loving the most ridiculous little things because they are unique to that person... i dono

i agree with you, she seems like a person with a lot of character. like about selling the promise ring, and losing a book she never read, those things are the kinds of little details that seem insignificant but tell you way more about a person than their age or job.
