- SARAHLAND is a collection of stories that are engrossing, funny, dark, surreal, and super queer. I found every single one to be captivating in a different way.
- I loved how expansive it was, even while every story was about someone named Sarah trying to find themselves.
- In particular, I want to shout out the story "Becoming Trees." I listened to it on the Metro while on my way to work one day, and despite my surroundings, I haven't felt that at peace in a long time.

Okay, I was really hoping to love this book. But, people, I LOVED this book. I laughed, I cringed, and I related to SO, so much. This is a book for anyone who has experienced an awkward phase/decade/existence. I really can not recommend it highly enough. I would give five stars to every story minus one that, truth be told, actually really bothered me.
