A review by dlberglund
You Think It, I'll Say It by Curtis Sittenfeld

2.0

Most of these stories did not appeal to me, though there were a few surprising (to me) gems. Most of the stories involved unhappy, introspective married straight people who were having emotional affairs or considering it. They had different variations of insecurities and quirks, some legitimate neuroses, but there were similar whiny qualities to them. Several stories felt like she wasn't sure how to navigate the short story form itself, and gave us pages of exposition on what happened after the action, in order to bring the character forward to a particular place in time.
There were three stories that had satisfying endings with characters I didn't loathe at the end. Bad Latch, The Prairie Wife, and Do Over are my favorites and were worth reading.
