5.0

Blunt, silly, and overall hilarious, this book seems to be joking about the actual genre it takes on. At the same time, Cohen reaches a level of emotional vulnerability that I honestly didn’t expect when picking up her work. Comedic sincerity of the modern age, at its finest.

Funny, reflective, and absolutely devastating. I felt like crying for most of it and then did actually cry at the end. Who knew such a short story could pack such a punch. I will think about this often.
