There were stories I enjoyed but others I found so boring. I heard the audiobook is enjoyable so may try that instead at a later date

Just like Bojack Horseman, be prepared for it to get dark, funny, weird and existential hahaha There was something to love about almost every single story-minus "These are Facts." I could not with even the elusion of teenager having feelings for grown up half sibling. No thank you.
It was such a fun reading experience like flipping through a TV full of different shows about love, and I wanted more and more! You go from laughing to misty eyed😭 I appreciated all of the genre and writing style play throughout. Can't wait to come back to this one over and over.

Chills… Maybe the most intelligent book I’ve ever read - weird & so wonderful. Sixty years of unspoken love on the subway, a game of taboo, a human breakup from the perspective of a dog, a conglomerate of superhero mid-life crises… Hilarious, cutting-edge, brutally raw, with energy that crackles like heat lightning across a midnight sky.
“You’re no dummy, and yet repeatedly, you stumble over the cracks of your cobblestone heart, you let your naked foolish hopes get the better of you.”
“Sometimes I feel like I don’t have to tell you things, because I feel like when you look at me, you can see everything.”
“One night, you will wake with a start in this person's bed, you will discover yourself in this person's arms, and you will disentangle yourself for the hundredth time and dress yourself for the hundredth time and try to leave this person's apartment, but when you get to the door there will be a sticky note over the knob that says, 'but what if this time you stayed?’”
