I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.
for a period of about two years, i was obsessed with the movie stuck in love. it references the titular story and quotes the ending lines at the end of the film and from that moment, i had wanted to read this collection.
this collection is a lot. short stories still mystify me, and i’m working on my understanding of them. i enjoyed a few of them and felt like i glazed through the rest, but the title story really spoke to me. is it because i tried more? who knows. but im glad i read it.
