Good Material by Dolly Alderton

3.75

I really liked Dolly Alderton’s memoir, Everything I Know About Love, so I wanted to give her fiction a shot. I think the typical break up novel was so interesting from the perspective of a man! I rarely get to see non-cringe romance themes explored from the male perspective and Dolly did an excellent job characterizing the effects of being socialized as a man and how that affects their view of relationships, friendships, breakups, etc. I thought the last chapter perspective shift was a bit jarring, but full of info that expanded our understanding of all the characters, so I understand why it was necessary (just wish it was in some other format). All in all a very solid book! I recommend this for a quick, enjoyable read.
