A Good Man by Ani Katz
3.0
I am giving this a 3 because it is well written but in terms of my enjoyment of the story I would probably give it 1 star.
The main character is a creepy manipulative gaslighting miss-treater of women (his sisters, mother, wife, daughter, co-workers …) who tries to explain these characteristics away through paternalism which almost makes all his behaviors throughout the whole story even worst.
Personally if a character is going to be creepy manipulative and gaslighting I would prefer they were doing so for power, or money, or revenge or something tangible, instead of being creepy manipulative and gaslighting under the false pretense it was better for the women in their lives.
Personally for me by the time we get to the end the ending is not shocking at all, he has been a horrible person over the course of the whole book and no matter how much he says he is a "good man" he never is.
This is the type of book that I have to go on a long walk after reading in order to decompress.
