Status Updates From You First: A Joe Goldberg P...

He calls his manhood his 'Portnoy', after the Phillip Roth book. I am very glad to not be dating. Men are weird.

I have decided to highlight whenever he's a misogynist. I've already highlighted 10 times. And I'm pretty sure I've missed some.

I am stumped about my feelings for this book. I loved all the Joe Goldberg books, but this one, I could have done without. And I feel awful saying it. The girlfriend was more annoying and Stalkerish than Joe. I didn’t get the same Joe vibes in this book it was almost like it was about a different character and maybe that’s what I mean by I didn’t really need this story. I liked the Joe of the other books.

I’m 70% in and really hoping it picks up, because teen Joe and the nonstop Sex and the City references are not doing it for me.
