Suzanne Roberts explores the link between death and desire and what it means to accept our own animal natures, the parts we most often hide, deny, or consider only with shame—our taboo desires and our grief.

I'm glad that NetGalley introduced me to this wonderful book of short stories, which discusses grief, desire, and other difficulties. I am glad that I got learn about how different people deal with the death of loved ones, especially those who lost their parents and are now dealing with grief. My least favorite section of the book is called Desire. While I enjoyed seeing how divorced couples loved before separating, it was strange seeing this is what the author wrote for the word desire. The last section focused on a couple whose marriage was falling apart and it was an excellent section to end on. While it's sad that their marriage didn't last, I'm glad to hear of the woman's adventures in Vietnam and Colombia.
