Thanks to Grand Central Books for the free copy of this book.
- SARAHLAND is a collection of stories that are engrossing, funny, dark, surreal, and super queer. I found every single one to be captivating in a different way.
- I loved how expansive it was, even while every story was about someone named Sarah trying to find themselves.
- In particular, I want to shout out the story "Becoming Trees." I listened to it on the Metro while on my way to work one day, and despite my surroundings, I haven't felt that at peace in a long time.
