this was the best short story collection i’ve ever read. it’s unapologetically feminist and queer and weird. i enjoyed most of the shorts stories immensely and really looked forward to reading a new one every day.

favourites: the husband snitch, real women have bodies, eight bites and difficult at parties.

honorary mention to mothers’s, which was very weird and abstract, but had some of the best writing i’ve read in ages

the one short story i didn’t like was especially heinous, the law & order one. i’ve never watched a single episode of this show in my life and was equally confused and bored for the first ten pages, after which i gave up and skipped to the next one. fans of the show seem to love this short story, though, so maybe you need some context to truly enjoy it. (also i’m curious about the ramifications of how this story, which is essentially fanfiction, got published.)
