• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

The main character is a piece of trash on fire. He’s a narcissist, alcoholic, and toxic. He is a sick person and is really just looking out just for himself. The character is supposed to be unlikable and is set in his ways through the whole book.

I liked this book despite the character. It reminded me of some people who I’ve always wondered how they navigated through life being this way and it gave me an insight as to how they think. I’ve read better books but this isn’t worst!

i bought this book without reading the plot since i found its title to be captivating (adding this to the list of things i did on impulse and regretted later) and i now know why the author chose to stay unknown cause if i were them and wrote this i wouldn't say it out loud either

if i wanted to catch sight of a man being an asshole i could just take a walk around the city this book really doesn't need to exist
