Male Angst Volume I.: FML, I Always Get "Those" Chicks is the antithesis to 50 Shades of Grey. Reggie Jenkins is on to something but he just isn't getting it right. He is quasi-urban: too black for the mainstream, but not black enough for the underground. The passing away of people, opportunities, and relationships in Reggie's life have left a hole that he attempts to fill with sex, drugs, and false ego. Reggie has 'Male Angst'. In this novel, Reggie recounts two disastrous short term relationships: the first to a weed head Vietnamese mother of two who owns a nail salon and has an obsessed "husband"; and the second to an underemployed yet overweight Hispanic mother of two with two baby-daddies and secret sauce. Add to the character mix an interesting oasis of thugs and lowlifes who are sympathetic to Reggie's cause and help him to count his blessings.
