In "Center of the Universe," God struggles to balance the demands of his career with the needs of his long-term girlfriend. In "Magical Mr. Goat," a young girl's imaginary friend yearns to become "more than friends." In "Unprotected," an unused prophylactic recalls his years spent trapped inside a teen boy's wallet. The stories in Simon Rich's new book are bizarre, funny, and yet...relatable. Rich explores love's many complications-losing it, finding it, breaking it, and making it-and turns the ordinary into the absurd. With razor-sharp humor and illustrations, and just in time for Valentine's Day, Rich takes readers for an exhilarating, hilarious ride on the rollercoaster of love.

The last Simon Rich collection of stories I read was Ant Farm and it had me uncontrollable giggling in a coffee shop as I read it. One of the patrons asked me what I was reading. When I started reading this one I started snickering again and my wife asked me to please read something else because she was trying to concentrate. Granted, the funniest of these stories are all in the very beginning, but it's an amusing and clever little book of stories that'll barely take more than an hour to read. There's one 3-page entry about Dogs Missed Connections that had me burst out laughing.
