I’ve been in a reading slump and I feel like short stories always pull me out of it. Moshfegh’s collection here is NASTY! I love her evident distaste for basically everyone and everything lol. Big fan of her writing style and she makes me want to write too.

I finished this on the plane home today, and it did in fact make me Cry In Public™️ (which I must admit, is an average experience for me). But, this hit home for me! A book about toxic love, insecurity, and depression. Also, why are all the books I've read by Irish writers so sad? Are y'all ok?
