This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz
3.0

I just finished this book, the first I've read by Diaz. This was recommended to me in real life, and through various top ten lists that have been popping up at the end of this year. I'm still processing here-- trying to decide if I liked it, or was just wooed by the words. Reviewers were not lying about the lyricism in his prose. I enjoyed the Spanish phrases mixed in, and the realistic voices that the author crafted. I was slightly jarred by some of the slurs, though. Overall, this was a good read, and I plan on reading more from Junot Diaz.
