Well, here I go once again, starting my IRL bookclub pick just a few days before our meeting. Oops. 😆
pickA bittersweet account of one manchild dealing with a breakup he didn‘t want and didn‘t see coming.
pickI‘m was laughing and crying out loud while I read about The Madness that overtakes Andy when he is blindsided by Jen dumping him
I read some, then skimmed some and then read the ending, and I do think Alderton did something really interesting here, but I just couldn't force myself through the incredibly depressing part to read the book as a whole.
Also, as with another book I read that was set right before lockdown, I found myself worrying about how the characters would manage with this horrible new challenge in front of them. Why do authors do this?!

pickSuper interesting to read about a break-up from the male perspective of a woman writer. To be in a similar stage of life I appreciated the honesty.
pickStruggling with how to rate this book. It's centered around a breakup, told 90% from the male perspective and his rollercoaster journey of how he dealt w/it. The writing was great. The subject was largely uninteresting to me personally. I have read multiple books from the female perspective of a breakup, so it was nice to have this out there choosing to tell the story in a different way-I don't think most guys are as emotionally 'woke' as him🤷♀️
