so many trigger warnings regarding weight— size, calories. Didn’t love the second person writing not for me

Short stories.

Unhinged women. Some of the stories better than others as it the way with these things but I enjoyed myself with it!

I love a good short story collection, and Taddeo did not disappoint! I'm not sure how long the stories themselves will stick with me, but there are several quotes that I'll be thinking about for a long time. Taddeo captures so many feelings that are difficult to articulate. The first line that absolutely destroyed me: "You wanted to cry. You knew you would not come back, would never see her again. These tiny endings are all over the place."
