A review by kimbermorgan
Five Tuesdays in Winter by Lily King

4.0

I’m a little surprised at the low rating for this book, and I’m curious why, but won’t read the reviews because I don’t want anyone’s opinion to spoil my own. I really enjoyed this. I thought the stories were captivating, and lovely. Such different depictions of love and desire and pain and suffering. I’ve been sitting on Euphoria by Lily King for a while, and this made me want to finally pick it up and read it. My only confusion is the title and how it relates to the story. The title is five Tuesday’s, but there’s ten stories, none of which seem to happen specifically on a Tuesday. So I’d like to understand why the title is what it is. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this. I thought the writing was really well done and really felt immersive. I love when you read a short story and it doesn’t feel like anything is missing or there are a lot of unanswered questions. This was like going around a table with friends and hearing stories about moments in their lives. They were complete and captivating.
