"A rich, powerful collection of stories that beautifully display all the messy, complicated parts of being human. Each story is so compelling, genuine, multifaceted, and relatable. The good, bad, and ugly of parenthood, friendship, love, desire, grief, and writing are laid bare, in their full imperfect glory. A remarkable example of the power of short stories. "
