A review by matthewwester
The Dog of the Marriage by Amy Hempel

3.0

3.5 stars for me. Books of short stories are such a mix, which is what you either love or hate about them. I genuinely loved a few of these stories. If I had stopped halfway through the book I would have landed on 4 stars. But the last few stories were a little much for me. The author is clearly talented but ultimately this wasn't my cup of tea.

I'm using this book in my 2016 #vtReadingChallenge as a "book with an ugly cover" because it shows the dog paws sticking out of the frazzled, wiry hair.
