Anthony's Recommendation
"My favorite: the toxic masculinity novel! The most unlikeable protagonist in recent memory. I read this book as a fuck you to every guy who looks up to Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. It is haunting, extremely unpleasant, and one of my favorites of the year. This #NewBookTuesday is being billed as a 'dumb American Psycho' and an 'Untalented Mr. Ripley'. An idiot with endless self-confidence tries to better his life by preying on women in the '90s. Looking forward to seeing if they nail the tone."
