Same Difference and Other Stories by Derek Kirk Kim

5.0

Jesus, this book fucking spoke to me. As a post-college graduate who's pretty sure (at this point), that I never want to get married, this book was so spot on and heartbreaking that it was ridiculous. Not that it's all about those ideas, but they feature prominently. Especially the idea of going back to your high school town and seeing people you know but don't really want to see. I'm not expressing this very well, so you should probably just read it. The main story, "Same Difference," was by far my favorite (and features a library staff member, hurrah!), but the other short stories at the end were also fantastic.
