The writing is sharp and clever, but most of the stories left me feeling unsatisfied.
I love Emma Straub, but I dislike short stories.

I love Emma Straub. Dipped in & out of this collection. Loved 90% of these stories
I'm not really sure what to say about this book... Some stories were great, really sharp writing and excellent job setting the tone. Others fell really short. Pick it up if you're looking for a light airy read, or better yet read her book The Vacationers instead, which I preferred.
Why I read it: #LitsyAtoZ letter O, #mountTBR
Still on my short story kick! I just picked up Other People We Married for $1.99 on Kindle. 👍🏻👍🏻 Currently one story in to each of these collections. 📚
So, I bought this one mainly for the absolutely stunning cover. And because it was on sale one day. But I am SO happy I did!! I am almost finished and it is delightful. This is one of the nicest book surprises in a while - where I bought it on a whim and it just has been exceeding my expectations with every story. It's fun and sassy and a great addition if you liked Single, Carefree, Mellow or Barbara the Slut.
There is definitely more orange than peach here, but I did the best I could. #augustphotochallenge #augustofpages
