I'm giving this 4 stars for the first half of the book because those were some quality work. However, I found myself drifting away as I read more stories and suddenly, my interest was gone.
I skimmed the last few stories as they weren't as capturing as the first ones. It took me a while to actually get through the lest half, but even then I felt like I didn't read the stories anymore. I had to stop completely at around 75% but that doesn't change the fact that I deeply enjoyed the former part and that it deserves 4 stars. I guess it would have been great if the stories ended with Rufus, because after that, all the stories just didn't cut it for me.
This was a highly entertaining book to read because it tackles all types of love, not just the romantic one, and it was a pretty bold statement on how love comes not just from your partner but from everywhere.
I recommend this for people who love the kinds of books that don't require much attachment since these are short stories.

The audiobook was a truly amazing piece of art; couldn’t recommend this book as an audiobook more.

Simply put, I was bored. It was not entertaining and honestly hard to get through at some points. I don’t recommend this and I should just stop reading books written by men. I’m always disappointed.

I'M OBSESSED! This is a collection of short-stories about love and humanity that exceeded my expectations. I gravitated toward this book because it was written by the creator of Bojack Horseman. Raphael Bob-Waksberg's writing is engaging, vulnerable, and hilarious. The stories are bizarre in the best way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
