He was smart the way movie stars are smart. They had access to everything and nerds tweeted books at them and they ate minimalist sushi and knew how to play the piano and ride motorcycles and they had been on location in damp parts of New Zealand and they knew about earthquake safety and they listened to very good, very new music.
I love love love Lisa Taddeo and her cut throat style of writing. I love each individual story but reading them one after another is quite intense. A fun read but I would read a couple then try something else and come back to this

This book is different than what I am used to reading. I won it through a giveaway a few months ago and finally got around to reading it. I think my biggest dislike about the book is the way the author does the dialogue. They use a - and an indent which just makes it hard to follow. I also do not like how the stories are different points of view. One story might be in first person, while another is in second and another in third. Again, it makes the book harder to follow.
The stories aren’t bad, the set up is.

interesting mix of characters and short stories, but why were so many of them about women who killed themselves because a man didn’t love them back?
