A perfect example of what not to say to women. Great realism, but a little lacking in the humor department for my own tastes.

I think I’m more interested in seeing this play than reading it. I think the author has a certain perspective that influences how the characters are portrayed,(especially in stage directions) and I’d be curious to see this story without that lens. That being said, I did still like it. I liked the story it was telling, even if some of the characters felt caricatured at some points. There need to be more representations of men who are damaged and fucked up by the world they live in.

The best part of the book was the preface

A drama that is extremely hilarious, that will leave you crying tears of sadness in the end. The ending is so sorrowful but it's realistic and that's what makes it amazing.
