I found the book as Me Caveman you narcissist by Steve Attwell. The listing describes Carl as a “big, gentle, introvert South African expat” navigating London’s dating world with “wounded optimism,” which gives us a strong emotional center for the review.
Amazon Review Title:
A Funny, Tender, and Surprisingly Moving Story
Review:
Steve Attwell’s Me Caveman you narcissist is a heartfelt and engaging read with a main character who immediately feels human, vulnerable, and memorable. Carl is introduced as a big, gentle South African expat trying to find his way through London’s dating scene, but the book becomes about much more than romance. It explores loneliness, hope, attraction, emotional damage, and the difficult process of learning who deserves your time and heart.
What makes the book work so well is the balance between humor and emotional honesty. Attwell writes with warmth, wit, and real compassion for his character. Carl may look like a “caveman,” but his inner life is tender, thoughtful, and deeply relatable. The story captures the strange comedy of dating, the pain of dealing with narcissistic people, and the courage it takes to keep believing in love after being hurt.
This is a book with personality. It is funny, touching, and easy to connect with, especially for readers who enjoy stories about flawed people trying to heal, grow, and still find beauty in life. Steve Attwell gives Carl dignity, humor, and heart, making Me Caveman you narcissist a memorable and worthwhile read. A strong debut with emotional depth and a character readers will want to root for and see win.
