I enjoyed the writing style of this book but felt like the conflicts/relationships weren't quite well developped enough to pull me in. A few major plot points really seem to come out of no where. But it was really funny and the narrator of the audiobook was excellent. Did a great job of digging into the dark stuff of life with humour.

Black Buck by Mateo Askaripour

Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.

The writing felt really misogynistic without adding anything to the plot line or character development at all. All of the female characters are either described by how bangable he finds them or they're his mother. It's grating. I'm interested in hearing how his experience at this terrible start up goes but not interested enough to keep reading.
