This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz

3.0

---

This was a 50/50 kind of read for me. At times I enjoyed it, other times not so much. Writing wise, it's excellent. Content wise, it felt redundant and depressing. When I read a collection of short stories I enjoy a moment of epiphany or recognition, and many of these just felt like glimpses into one man's messed-up, sad life. It was cool to see Yunior, who also narrates some chapters in [b:The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao|297673|The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao|Junot Díaz|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1391409748s/297673.jpg|3281466], narrate these stories. I will check out [b:Drown|531989|Drown|Junot Díaz|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1313700390s/531989.jpg|3230496] because I'm curious to read more of Diaz's work.

2.5 or 3/5 stars.
