★☆☆☆☆
Sexist, Boring and Gross
Like all male authors, this book is written by the lens of their perspective and their reality of being male. Unlike other male authors, this book stands out as being particularly fetishistic and sexist which makes it a cringe-inducing read. There is a strong sense of entitlement to womanhood in the narrative voice.
I don't think any woman can read this book and say 'hey that character represents me'. The only thought that came to my mind is that only someone who's male could have written women like this and think this is a nuance or realistic portrayal of womanhood. Maybe, some excerpts of this book should be posted to r/menwritingwomen because it is worth a laugh. But it is definitely not worth a whole read because other than being stupidly sexist, it is an extremely boring story.
I really wish I could have given zero stars. What a waste.
