First of all, I would like to note the strength of the women in these stories and the fact they had to deal with the many calibers of stupid men, from the insecure ones to the mummy’s boys. Secondly, this book was incredibly funny, I couldn’t stop laughing and I couldn’t put the book down from the sheer stupidity of these men. But it also dealt with very serious issues brilliantly and to me, all the women (save for Dooshima) had a good/fair ending and I especially loved the first story, (Cuck up) when she told her stupid husband that she would use him for money rituals ,if he didn’t leave, that was good.

I have been wanting to read this book from the moment it came out. And I finally was able to, this month.
Every story had me laughing out loud and to this day, I still think of the stories with fond memories.

Loved this read! It was so immersive and interesting in ways I didn't expect it to be. Absolutely worth it.

This was a DNF for me. 2,5 stars rounded to 2. This book had so much potential but it was poorly executed.
A collection of 12 short stories and I stopped reading at 9. Was interesting at first but it gradually turns suuuper boring because while each and every story is different, 1) the stories are so similarly structured and 2) almost all of it is about cheating men. Also hated the unnecessary sex scene in almost every chapter.
I did enjoy the way Kuku tries to reflect on and criticize patriarchy, marriage, and modern dating culture, though. Also liked how this book reminds me so much of Jakarta men. But that's about it.
