Technically pretty good writing. Didn’t like the style. Most of all, main character is a completely insufferable selfish and objectifying asshole. He views women consistently as bodies alone. He looks for validation by pretending to be his father in sleeping with his father’s mistress. The women are one-dimensional and helpless, all reliant and obsessed with the main character. Frustrating, gross, and just overall gave me the ick in very way possible.
