Special thanks to @stmartinspress & @netgalley for my gifted copy‼️
This was a great collection a bit different from her previous short story collection because I found this one to be a little humorous. In many of the stories characters were in search of something they already had right in front of them. In the others characters were in search for more than what their current situations had to offer only to find things out the hard way.
My favorite stories were the few that had me laughing:
Living- This story was hilarious. Seymour left his wife for the city life. He was only gone a few days before he was running back home.
Down That Lonesome Road - This was a funny story as well all I can say is it involved a sex toy and she got way more than she bargained for.
Spooks- This was by far the craziest story of them all cause I just know that woman wasn’t that naive. She was basically tricked out her panties lmao
Overall, I enjoyed this collection and would recommend‼️ Each story presented a different theme surrounding love, marriage, forgiveness, motherhood, sex, wealth, friendship, or life. I did enjoy how the author shifted perspectives throughout. One minute you’re sympathizing with a character then the next you’re laughing. I also loved how quickly each story pulled you into its drama.
