did not like it
bookshelves: 2024-reads, literary-fiction, ebook, female-authors

interested in 450+ pages of men complaining about their lives and being complete assholes and the women being so poorly written and one dimensional? then i've got the book for you!

do not read if you hate men or listening to what men have to say! this is an entire book of just that!

biggest let down of a highly-anticipated release in a loooong time. a pathetic excuse of a book.

Keyna Feel it.

Putting it down now.


Steph James Lol’ing “do not read if you hate men or listening to what they have to say”


message 3: by Sara (new) - added it

Sara Portela Strong on the "if you hate men" because what the hell are these insufferable characters


message 4: by Reader (new)

Reader Omg I feel so seen I was shocked at the good reviews. These men are awful right from the beginning. A waste of over fourty Canadian dollars


message 5: by Namia (new)

Namia Ivan was okay if mid but oh my god do I hate Peter. I dislike his character archetype so much.


Tiffany Thank u for this because I had to do some googling about Rooney thinking “she cannot possibly like women the way she’s writing about them” 😭😭😭😭


Sadie Cannova Ugh. I’m about halfway through and feel the same. Hate DNFing but don’t think I can make it another 250 pages.
