There are only so many orgasms - by the male MC, just for clarification; the women in this book only seem to exist in terms of his sexual satisfaction or for him to disrespect them - and descriptions of breasts and mentions of vomit I can read about before I call it quits.

Despite having an interesting premise, I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. The constant time jumps made the story difficult to follow. The main characters constant sexism and objectification of women made him difficult to root for, and even though some characters describe him as amoral and sexist, there were no real consequences for his actions. He still got everything he wanted.
