this book is, like, fine. it just doesn't do it for me. it's not describing what i would describe when i talk about love. maybe it's outdated, or maybe my love is just different than Carver's. it just didn't resonate for me.

my favorite story, the one i connected to the most, was the one told by the boy who had just lost his father. (i will find it's name and edit this later)
