We Should Never Meet: Stories by Aimee Phan

4.75

this was incredible. really thoughtful and elegantly crafted short story collection, with clear, beautiful, heartrending prose. it was a pleasure feeling each short story gradually unfold, exposing - as aimee phan does excellently - the tangled knots of human emotion. the deft cuts between past and present and/or different perspectives in each story, and aimee phan's on-point decision to forgo quotation marks in the dialogue - which hit hard multiple times during my read - make me want to study this book from a craft perspective.
