really liked it

I flew through You Think It, I’ll Say It, a short story collection by Curtis Sittenfeld. I’ve shared before that short stories can be hit or miss for me, though I’m happy to say more hits than misses in the last few years, including YTIISI.

In these stories, we learn about marriages with tensions, young adults figuring out who they are, parenthood, nostalgia for and curiosity about people from the past, and more. I can’t say there was a story I didn’t like here. The characters felt realistic and they were set in modern times. After reading You Think It, I’ll Say It, I am now a Sittenfeld completist, and have liked or loved all of her books!

Thank you, Bianca! I’ve enjoyed them all — It’s been a long time since I read it, but I think American Wife is my favorite.
