The Sweetest Fruits by Monique Truong

1.0

I couldn't figure out where this book was going the whole time I was reading it. I thought it was going to draw an interesting conclusion, but instead it just seemed to be about a guy who was really shitty and self absorbed. I like that it centered women and the middle of the book was the most interesting part, but ultimately it felt like a bunch of disparate ideas that didn't have much connection other than being tangentially connected to this one shitty guy.

I get that he had sort of an interesting life path from Greece>UK>US>Japan but I don't fully understand why the author chose to write about it.

I actually didn't finish it, which is rare for me.
