I don't love short story collections - I went into this knowing nothing about it. I'll stick to collections I have already in my collection :)

this was a really nice read! definitely a love actually vibe with all the interconnected stories, and I really enjoyed Wilkshire's writing. fav stories were definitely "The Dinner," "Fourteen Steps," and "House."

I like this. The stories were lightly interconnected, but able to stand on their own two feet. It felt balanced. Emotional but not too emotional. Wilkshire skated a fine line that could have easily become cutesy or too sweet. That takes skill.
