I knew this collection was going to be a wild ride from the first story! This book is certainly a page turner and if we learn anything about men from it is that they have the AUDACITY! 

There are so many outlandish behaviors exhibited by men in these stories but honestly none of them shocked me. As. Heterosexual woman myself, I have experienced… men 😭

Overall, this book was a lot of fun to read and reminds us to make sure we have our stuff together, no matter how cushy life may seem. I think the only thing I didn’t particularly like was that a lot of the stories were written in second person. It was effective for some but it got to be hard to distinguish the stories after a while. But that also could have been intentional because all these different women dealing with men got burned by them in one way or another making it a universal experience and… well. I’ll leave it there 😘
