This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz
2.0
It's got this punchy, raw amd vulgar writing style that covers up what I felt to be a lack of fleshed out characters. Granted, we see everything from Yunior's perspective and he isn't exactly a developed person who grows and learns from the mistakes he makes.
Only took me a day to read. Once I was in I was carried along in the flow of his writing, even when a particular story wasn't grabbing me, they are all so brief I was onto something new before reading became a slog.
Perhaps there's a deeper level to this book- a meditation on the dangers of toxic machismo. How it stunts and inhibits men from creating meaningful relationships.
