Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory by Raphael Bob-Waksberg
5.0
I loved this book. I was expecting to feel differently about this collection of short stories because I read the reviews before reading (my worst habit!) but I am absolutely obsessed with it. As a native New Yorker, The Serial Monogamists Guide to Important New York City Landmarks especially hit home for me.
My biggest takeaway from all the stories is that the love does not always imply romantic love. It is not always about a couple, but maybe a story of friends or family that centers love. That was especially admirable to me.
I am not much of a fantasy or sci-fi reader, but some of these stories have seriously made me reconsider. Each story was unique, fun, and the perfect length. There was no warning whether it would be based in reality or a completely fictional world, or somewhere far far away or that big American city we all know of, you kind of just had to let it be. This is definitely a collection I will re-read frequently.
