it’s true i did read this bc i think paul mescal is very handsome…. idk that i loved the titular story unless considered with its pair i think the like really clever (slightly gimmicky) thing about this collection is when you consider the ‘’matching’ stories side by side. i did feel that there was little stylistic variation in the stories that meant that the time period / narrator was hard to discern for me…. and also the north woods allegations are hard to beat i fear. but a nice and very readable collection of short stories that i thought were very engaging on the whole
