1/10 Literally the worst book I’ve ever read. I went into this expecting some commentary on toxic masculinity and how it can flourish in the monotony of everyday life and was sorely disappointed. First off the book does not understand how women’s bodies work, there is literally a line saying that a women was enjoying sex well for only having one ovary. Like what??? The writing is so moronic that I literally thought I was reading the wrong thing at first. I’ve read some of the other reviews praising this book and I can’t get my head around it, the entire things is just the main character being a dick then having sex rinse and repeat. There is no deeper insights or commentary, just that oh and he gets fired from a few jobs along the way. If you want a good book that centres around toxic masculinity through the lens of a man who only thinks about being an asshole and sex, read Filth by Irvine Welsh. It’s everything I thought this book would be while still being straight to the point and rough around the edges.
