So You Know It's Me by Brian Oliu

5.0

Oliu’s missed connections could be any person out there, a person receiving attention from someone who over-thinks a little too often and sometimes wonders if he remembers too much. The tone of each essay is slightly obsessive and sad, yet beautiful in their moments of sincere flattery. I enjoyed the book a lot, and though I appreciate the structure, I thought by the end, Ah, just let us have one more…

Okay so this was a really interesting concept. Missed Connections as a story. Really great and really touching. The best part of all this was buried deep in the last one, a line so easy to miss if you weren't paying attention.

This, here, will disappear like the others. There will be other connections, others after you
