If I had to describe this book, I would make a comparison to a comedy movie. You know it’s not winning an Oscar, but it just might make you laugh. It is a fun-packed, drama-filled short story collection about men being exactly what they are, MAD!
There was wit and quite a few rolled-eyed stories. I felt there were so many directions these stories could have taken to show the diverse ways in which men are MAD, but the collection felt very one-dimensional. However, it was quite a quick read and I got quite a few chuckles in but if you’re looking for something pensive or a story that you have never heard before, then this is definitely not the book to read.
A solid 3 stars ⭐️

I usually don’t like short stories, but I really enjoyed this collection! Each story was so unique but the common thread was clear. I loved the different POVs and tones to each. Some were funny while others were serious. Overall really enjoyed!

this book is not appropriate for reading on a plane at all. there’s way too many detailed sex scenes for that. especially don’t read it whilst seated in the middle seat on a plane in-between two male strangers. not good vibes
i think at face value i enjoyed it, however, a lot of the stories were ruined for me by the sex scenes. i am all for a well-timed and appropriate sexy moment (e.g. bridgerton the show or any of casey mcquiston’s writing) but a lot of the scenes in this book felt like they were thrown in just for the sake of being there. i’m painting with very broad strokes but it hardly ever felt like they were necessary or enjoyable to read or necessary for the plot.
