This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz

4.0

Listened to this on audio on a long car trip -- Junot Diaz reads it, and that made it come alive for me. Not surprisingly, men in this book are confounded by women and treat them badly. I couldn't help but think about the recent #MeToo charges against Diaz, which were dismissed, but certainly left the lingering impression of a man who has unhealthy relationships with women. These stories illuminate that, but I find it heartening that he is taking the topic on and, though the men are narrating, there is no romanticizing of their behavior. The stories were uneven, but almost all of them kept me intrigued.
