I enjoyed this one however, I honestly hated the male main character. How he acted at the beginning had me considering DNFing this book, but I decided to stick it out. I'm glad I did because after interacting with the author, who provided insight on the story's purpose, I realized how important it was—highlighting the reality of misogynistic men and how they feel about women and treat them. Additionally, also illustrating what can happen when one changes that mindset, takes accountability, and works to become better. I gave this four stars because although I was happy that Christian worked towards changing, I was not too fond of the fact that the black woman had to be the savior/fixer/healer. At one point in the story, he says, "I needed her to be here to fix me." Why does the black woman always have to take on the job to "fix" the man? Additionally, I also think this story needed a trigger warning because some of the fat jokes made by the main male character were triggering for me as a fat, black woman. Still, a good read with an important message.
