why do the books with the best titles never turn out good?
the writing for this collection isnt bad, but i just was not truly enjoying most of the stories. i was almost halfway through the book and hadn’t rated any of the stories 4 stars. maybe thats harsh, but i just didnt wanna finish. these were the ratings of the stories i read:
a most blessed and auspicious occasion: 2.5/5
missed connection: 3.5/5

the serial monogamists guide . . . : 3.75/5

we men of science: 2/5

lies we told each other: 1/5

these are facts: 3.25/5

lunch with the person who dumped you: 1.5/5
