i read this because my professor works for split lip and we were looking at the website and this jsut looked really interesting. and i was not disappointed this was so amazing. i always love the stories that take one concept and look at it from million different perspectives like this did with love. i love the short ones and the long ones. this was just really amazing and i loved the writing and concepts behind the stories. deserves the high rating. side note: is the author from colorado because i felt like every story took place there lol and i loved it. just the simple sentences that make you understand the story as a whole better. this just makes me want to read more books from smaller publishers.

Jennifer Wortman has a special skill for writing dialogue that wounds. Youch. I blew through this collection in a day and a half. These stories, many of them about addiction, depression, toxic family dynamics and mother bashing, are painful and irreverent, emotionally gripping, funny - I loved the one featuring Animal Psychic and the final story, written from the pov of an alcoholic man in recovery who takes a lit seminar with an intimidating female professor, in particular, but all of them are great. Thanks to Casey Plett for the recommendation.

I absolutely LOVED this collection! It hit me just right and made me want to read AND write more short stories immediately! I have a feeling I’ll be re-reading it very soon.
