Helpful Score: 7
The premise of this book was very intriguing and part of the reason I didnt stop reading it. The story starts with a BBQ and a bratty child who is hit by someone who is not his parent. The rest of the story continues in the voice of various characters and how that moment became a part of each of their lives.
The characters in the story were completely unlikable. They were all selfish, indecisive, weak willed, and worst of all immoral. The books seems to have been written from the perspective of a man who wants women to engage in one-sided sex and who believes that a woman will continue to love her man solely because he looks good. The author's use of profanity throughout the book seems as if the author wanted to use vulgar words for no other reason than just because I can. His descriptions of a womans emotions and a womans sexual thoughts are completely inaccurate. As an American, I did not know what a lot of the slang terms used throughout the book meant.
Surprisingly for all of its vulgarity and for being anticlimactic, I didnt hate the book, but I definitely didnt like it.
