A short story that goes at a rattling pace - I don't usually like to read anything of any length in one sitting, but the writing style absolutely demands you don't stop.
Set in Boston and the Dominican Republic, every chapter covers a year from the end of Yunior's long term relationship. While it's absolutely his fault (he cheated with fifty women over six years!) and while his attitude to women is pretty awful, you can't help hoping he will pull out of the spiralling social life, physical health and mental health whirlpool that is almost entirely of his own creation.
Full of strong language and bad attitudes, this is a fun fast-paced read.

itselvv's review
About a man who cheats on his fiancee with at least fifty women(!), she finds it out and kick him out of her life, with that he start living in an endless cycle of regret, longing and despair. provocative for sure but a fun and interesting read; There's something undeniably captivating about stories that feature protagonists shunned by society due to their moral transgressions. Such tales never fail to draw me in!
