Curtis Sittenfeld, along with Emma Cline & Kiley Reid, was one of the authors that sold me on reading this whole collection. 

This is a story about a teacher who meets a now-famous former classmate for a drink and a catch up. My notes say "They're both odd AF" which is fairly accurate, but underneath what appears to be a weird and awkward meeting is a satirical biting commentary on class, the definition of success, grudges, and status. 

This one, while I enjoyed it, felt a little unfinished to me but I did love the idea of a "tomorrow box", a technique used by the main character Andy to alleviate his daughter's night-time fears.
