Katherine Heiny is in my top 10 favourite contemporary writers. She’s brilliant in short form as well as full length novels. She does it all. That it took me this long after publication to read these stories is a crime. If you’re new to Heiny she’s one of the few writers I think you have to read in publication order.

There’s some good ones in here! Chicken-Flavored and Lemon-Scented had to be my favorite.

A couple of the stories feel so deeply relatable and others fell a little on the shallow side. Either way it’s a fun read for a couple cozy afternoons.
