I was very excited to receive an early copy of Show Don’t Tell by Curtis Sittenfeld. Show Don’t Tell is a collection of short stories that are both thought provoking and capture a snapshot of life. 

While Sittenfeld is one of my favorites writers, I am usually a bit hesitant to pick up a collection of short stories. To no surprise, each story felt complete and captured the perfect snapshot of a a brief time in life. Both relatable and reflective. I was excited to read the final story Lost But Not Forgotten— a story about Lee, the main character from my first Curtis Sittenfeld book, Prep, which I read almost twenty years ago!

As always, I’ll be first in line to recommend anything Sittenfeld writes. Her novels (and short stories) stick with me. I look forward to what she writes next. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Random House for an advanced copy of this book!
