I adored both of Lily King’s VERY different novels, writers and lovers as well as euphoria, so I figured I would love this short story collection. Maybe it was because of my high expectations, or that I listened to it on audio, or that I’m used to short story collections that center on a theme, but I thought Five Tuesdays in Winter was a little uneven. At first I thought a connecting theme woven throughout was the angst of adolescence. The stories that did include characters in that stage of life were absolutely my favorite, as was the titular entry. So if you have a penchant for teen angst, but written from an adult perspective (similar to Curtis Sittenfeld) I would definitely recommend for those stories within this collection.
