About the book

A must-have collector's edition of Junot Díaz’s bestseller and National Book Award finalist, brilliantly illustrated by celebrated comic artist Jaime Hernandez

A major New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the National Book Award, This Is How You Lose Her is Pulitzer Prize-winner Junot Díaz’s celebration of love in all its facets—obsessive love, illicit love, fading love, maternal love. For this gorgeous new edition, Jaime Hernandez—deemed “one of the twentieth century’s most significant comic creators”—has crafted stunning full-page illustrations, one for each story, that brilliantly capture the love-haunted spirit of the book and of the gutsy women whom irrepressible, irresistible Yunior loves and loses. A true work of art, inside and out, this is a keepsake that fans will treasure and new readers will delight in discovering.

    My review for this book might be slightly skewed, since I didn't finish two audio books right before this one and was just thankful that I didn't want to pull out my hair listening to this. With that being said, I found the writing very raw, honest and powerful. You can just feel the I don't give a shit attitude. The author displays a very strong male viewpoint in his stories. The one story out of the female perspective felt a little flat. The audio book is narrated by the author and I think he did a great job portraying in his voice in which phase of his life the main character was.
