Description
This acclaimed collection of short stories explores love, loneliness, illness, family, and the uneasy comedy of ordinary life. With sharp intelligence and darkly playful wit, the stories follow women navigating relationships, heartbreak, mortality, and the shifting demands of adulthood. Moore’s inventive use of second-person narration and intimate, conversational prose makes each piece feel both personal and slyly self-aware. Together, these stories reveal the humor and vulnerability hidden within the everyday struggle to understand—and remake—oneself.
