One Year of Ugly by Caroline MacKenzie

1.0

This is a DNF for me. I thought it was slightly racist and misogynist (despite being written by a woman) and then I stumbled across this line "tried not to keep replaying the harshness of what I’d said to him, cursing my inability to thwart all those genetically wired impulses that allow pop culture to accurately peg Latin women as “feisty,” “fiery,” and “mothafuckin’ crazy as shit.”"

That did it for me. Not worth finishing. Shame though, it was an interesting premise.
