Imagine my surprise when I finished another sad book and picked up this one to finish the second half of what I thought was a fun, goofy read.

Patricia Lockwood is so good at making you laugh and cry in the same sentence.

He took only as much as he needed of something, and that was enough.

I read the first half utterly confused. I read the second half uncontrollably crying.

The doors of bland suburban houses now looked possible, outlined, pulsing—for behind any one of them could be hidden a bright and private glory.
