This book is made 100% of man tears. It turns out no matter how aware a man is of racial inequalities and oppression, it doesn't mean he's a decent human being who can see women as more than a piece of meat.

Women are objects in this book. It's disgusting and misogynistic, and the author never calls it out in the story. The entire book, the main character, Yunior, laments how his relationships continue to fail - all while he's cheating on every single girlfriend (not a spoiler - it's how it starts, it's how it ends - it's a given). Yunior calls all the women he sleeps with "sucias" (dirty sluts) - yet he's the one who's cheating (with more than 50 women at one point, seriously). And he gets even angrier when he's not getting laid by one of them. If the author had pointed out this super obvious double-standard and actually done something with it, I would have appreciated that at the bare minimum...

Instead, the author entertained the most boring, most pathetic typical male narrative of our time: a cheating dirtbag who can't treat a woman with the most basic human decency and is depressed because he's left alone. Because he's scum. Give me a break. Cry me a river of your man tears. I have no sympathy for this anti-woman narrative we're already bombarded with every day in the real world. I had really high hopes, but it turns out that a Pulitzer can't cure a douchebag.
