No fucking shot a man wrote this. No fucking shot a man wrote my favorite piece of feminist literature I’ve read to date. Shocking, funny, poignant, and most of all, accurate. Letter-perfect to the experience of being a woman. Nat Cassidy may not know, and he may not understand, but he fucking listens. Nat Cassidy has women in his life that feel safe and loved enough to talk to him, and Nat Cassidy committed every word they said to him to eternal memory. 

It’s also, frankly, a genius book. Mary is a character that is so easy to hate and so easy to sympathize with at the same time. I found myself going back and forth with every page turn. The plot twists were so well done. There is a twist that you catch on with, and I think you’re meant to, but then there’s another that blows you out of the damn water, and it still makes sense! It makes perfect sense! It makes you go “goddammit, of course!”

A 2024 favorite so far. Read this book.

NGL dude this one was just too brutal for me. Felt too unwell to justify continuing reading after the cactus scene.
