Shopgirl by Steve Martin
1.0

I mean I don’t know what else I expected from a book written by a man. The story was not very compelling. It was frustrating and honestly gross to read about. Any time that Ray was the narrator, his thoughts were unnecessarily sexual. I know that it was the point of the book, but he ONLY thought about sex with Mirabelle. He literally said that a cure for her depressive episode could be a good fuck. He was double her age and really did nothing but upset her. 
My least favorite part of the book is at the end when Ray literally said that he was a parent to Mirabelle because he took care of her. They were no longer together and he thought about her frequently and that was the only reasoning he had for still thinking about her. It was the worst possible line I could’ve read.
