Junot Diaz's new collection, This Is How You Lose Her, is a
collection of linked narratives about love - passionate love,
illicit love, dying love, maternal love - told through the lives of
New Jersey Dominicans, as they struggle to find a point where their
two worlds meet. In prose that is endlessly energetic and
inventive, tender and funny, it lays bare the infinite longing and
inevitable weaknesses of the human heart. Most of all, these
stories remind us that the habit of passion always triumphs over
experience and that 'love, when it hits us for real, has a
half-life of forever.'

Review This Product
I felt I was watching a friend
Tue, 29 Dec 2020 | Review
by: GUINIVERE P.
I bought this book at the airport, traveling back from Costa Rica in January 2020. I finally read it over the 2020 holiday, due to lockdown I chose not to travel, this was the next best option. I was honestly confused about how I felt about the story from page one and all the way through. But I kept reading and closed the book still confused. But... I felt I watched the messy life of a friend evolve, break and play out. It was a really interesting book.
