This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz

2.0

---

a good book that explores the depth of cheating and the emotional toll it takes on both the cheater and the cheated, although much of this dripped with patriarchial brainwashing and the not so subtle misogynistic remarks were not lost on me. i do like the open ending, as it suggests that healing from relationships is not at all linear and there isn't a one size fits all formula and more often than not you cannot remove your healing process from every other aspect of your life as it will always bleed through some how - but nonetheless, fuck men.
