Who Is Rich? by Matthew Klam
3.0
Read this if you like male protagonists who have literally nothing to complain about but complain anyway. Rich is miserable because he makes bad choices, generally originating from between his legs instead of his ears. In trying to prove himself he proves nothing.
Klam is funny and he creates a world that is so self-involved and self-reverential and ridiculous that it is believable and recognizable.
The characters are well-written and yet I felt zero empathy for Rich. I cringed when he and was almost disappointed .
I like to read books where characters are struggling with who they are. I enjoy existential crisis. So even if I didn't like Rich, I did like the book.
