This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz

5.0

Diaz is a phenomenal writer. The authenticity laced in every paragraph leaves the reader with a sense of content, wonder, and curiosity for more. Easily one of the fastest books to get through, read smooth, clear, and full of metaphors for days. The dialect spoken by Junior makes you appreciate coming from a place like the Bronx where you can identify with the slang, the spanish rherotic, because its close to you almost intimate in a way. Each character in the novel has a part of them that you've seen somewhere before maybe you wish you've never seen it but you have and for that it makes this account real. It makes the circumstances believable and some will make your heart jump, swoon, and hurt. It's not the kind of love story you could ever imagine, its an honest account of the aftermaths of dealing with love and what it means to the physical and mental state of a being. I loved it!
