In the tradition of Jonathan Tropper and Tom Perrotta comes Matthew Norman's Domestic Violets—a darkly comic family drama about one man’s improbable trials of love, loss, and ambition; of attraction, impotence, and infidelity; and of mid-life malaise, poorly-planned revenge, and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

THOUGHTS
well. 
i dont really remember this one. i do remember thinking that i wasnt a fan of it so so much that my ig post was probably the nicest way i could have said i didnt like it without straight up saying it.  But this was the authors first book and he's only gotten better so, hey! 

and because its been so long, no spoilers. sorry! 
all I remember is the dad wasn't there (?) but now he is and homeboy wants his car cus that signifies big dick energy and he gets it but not like before a lot of shit goes down. 

...i'm basically just here to post this one so i can move on. 
eek!

thanks for reading!
