This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz

3.0

I read this book very quickly, captivated by a prose style that employed high-brow vocabulary with the same ease as Spanish slang. What I liked about it was how the style informed character, and in that way, the book is a great teacher. But, "how you lose her"... well, you lose her by cheating on her, endlessly, remorselessly, until she catches you. And that's a protagonist for whom I have very little empathy.
