Welcome to Litsy!

A collection of melancholic, meandering stories, many set in Maine. I liked the drift of them. Loosely plotted, loosely connected. The title story was particularly effective, and more then a few sentences that gave me pause.
A book that's been sitting on my Goodreads TBR for years, and part of my most recent Book Outlet delivery. Glad I finally got to it.

#thisistheend @Liberty one of my favs from last year. ❤

Two more birthday books for me from The Strand! 😊

So far so good!

"It's strange what you remember, what will keep."

In this debut collection of stories, Majka shows herself to be a smart & unique new voice in American fiction. Eschewing many of the standard short-story tropes, she moves effortlessly through the life of her main character, a young woman trying to recover her equilibrium following a divorce. -Rico

Based on the little I've read, I can tell that this is going to be my kind of book.

I'd be lying if I said the cover didn't suck me right in..

"...the suspension you feel when you're fine, but you're worried it won't last, and there's nothing you can do to make it stay."

"...never understanding that we love what we love and that it doesn't change."
