This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz

Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.
I’ve never stopped reading a book this soon… it read like a rough draft, the female characters were objects and the use of the n word was shocking and uncomfortable…. I do not understand how this is so well reviewed among literary sources and scholars but while the author I believe was trying to make me feel bad for the main character- I hated him so much I had to stop reading…. I usually give a book at least 100 pages- this book left me with no choice but to give up at 48.
