Book of short stories I got as a blind date book. Some very funny but profound stories. A couple of the sections were very powerful and one made me cry on an airplane

As with a lot of books about women written by white cis women, this book is a little gender essentialist and doesn’t think about intersectionality. It’s good if a little basic. The titular story was a favorite.
