Bad Behavior by Mary Gaitskill

5.0

Every story in this collection is exceptional. Gaitskill aptly captures the complicated, messy reality of womanhood through incredibly complex characters. Each story is a fully-fleshed look into these women’s lives, laying them bare without judgement. The theme of romanticizing a woman before you truly know her was prevalent and beautifully executed. Highly highly recommend.  

My favorites from this collection are “Daisy’s Valentine,” “A Romantic Weekend,” “Connection,” and “Heaven.”
