This Way Out

DNF at 60%. The plot stalled out when the narrator, Amar, came out to his Bangladeshi family AND announced his impending wedding with dismaying but predictable responses. While I have no doubt that could very well happen in real life, Amar's whining and self-righteousness grew tiresome. Too many other stronger books clamoring for my attention right now.

I bought this book as part of Amazon's “First Reads” program, and the copy there made it sound like a romcom. Unfortunately, it's not funny. It's also probably about 100 pages too long (a lot of the prose is very repetitive) and I found the main character really annoying with the way he was always projecting on everyone and having these over dramatic spirals. No idea how 2 different guys were into him.
