You Think It, I'll Say It

I read “Prep” as a teenager and hadn't thought about this author since. This book was suggested to me by Goodreads, and I was finally able to read it as a quick book for an airplane ride. I don't gravitate towards short story collections, but I found the wistful and inquisitive tone of the stories throughout very compelling. To me, many of the characters were meant to be portrayed as morally neutral - more of a observation on the eccentricities of being human than a judgment. At times, the complex and surprising relationships and revelations reminded me a lot of the Amazon Prime series “Modern Love” based on the NYTimes column. The stories are quick and always leave you wanting a bit more, while not leaving you feeling unsatisfied. A great for anyone who likes to people watch....or needs a quick book to get them through a plane ride.
