If men suffer in silence, then why am I reading about it?
However, I actually enjoyed this. I never really care to know a man’s perspective on anything but this was written by a woman so I thought I should give it a try. Turns out I definitely did see the hype. It was funny, and exactly how I thought a man’s perspective on a break up would be.
I can see why some people would dislike this, and even DNF. Andy is annoying, whiny and insecure but I think D.A made that intentional. Everything was a hit on the nail. It is easier to read this if you read this as something satirical with its moments here and there.
The last chapter though, which was Jen’s perspective, was the cherry on top. Chef’s kiss. Everything she said was little too close to home. If this book had came out when 10 years ago, I’d probably have processed my break up better.
