I loved this book so much more than I thought I would. Initially the idea of reading another collection of short stories about a bunch of white people living (mostly) in New York bored me. But the writing is just so subtle and well done, there was something in it that reminded me of Raymond Carver. Little moments of brilliant psychology and heart wrenching observation that pierces through the mundane and the everyday. Knocked a point because, well, it’s mostly about a bunch of white people living in New York. I’d love to see what the writer can do if she steps out of her bubble a bit more.
