Why They Run the Way They Do by Susan Perabo
4.0
4 stars - It was great. I loved it.
Short story collections are perfect to keep on your phone for those quick minutes of reading at the end of a work break or while waiting at an appointment. I do not typically find as much joy with them as I do novels, but this one was a gem.
-------------------------------------------
Favorite Quote: If life really can be compared to a hand of cards, I’m fairly certain that those cards remain facedown until sixth or seventh grade and only then do you get to turn them over and see who you actually are.
First Sentence: When they gave us lumps of clay in art class, I made a pencil holder in the shape of a giraffe, and Louise made an ashtray.
