If you're looking for a book from the POV of a whiny, misogynistic, and entitled Reddit incel, look no further. The book seems interesting enough from the summary and its blunt opening but quickly spirals into a self-pitying, self-obsessed complaint-- think Holden Caufield with a mix of Bale's Patrick Bateman. There are parts that stand out and make you reevaluate the relationship between love and violence but overall is an unbearable read.
