I expected nothing less of Bob-Waksberg after the heartrending aftermath of watching Bojack Horseman. So, imagine my excitement when I learned about this book and good Lord did he break my heart once again. (Like, in a really good I-feel-the-need-to-say-thank-you way)

It started out strong, especially with the first short. Some were kind of out of this world and I couldn't guess at all where it'll go but then it hits me all of sudden how badly I resonate with the story. Personally, there were stories that didn't do it for me but there were still some notable parts that got me tabbing like crazy. Couldn't help but reflect on life and love and even got me aching for situations I've never experienced in my life.

Reading this made me miss Bojack all over again. I love this so much. Beautiful and strange in the best way possible.
