2020 might be the first year I have had multiple favorite short story collections read & that feels nice! I used to absolutely loathe the form as I was forced to read too many during school but last year, I forced myself to read a few collections and I decided to continue that side challenge this year, too.
I’m glad I did because “See You In Paradise” manages to be the first book I’ve thought of as “cerebral, but in a, like, cute way.” It explores very mundane aspects of life but does so in a way that makes the ordinary fantastic or deeply thought-provoking, and I truly couldn’t get enough of how each & every story made me feel. 5/5 stars, for sure, and I definitely recommend it to both lovers & haters and anyone in between of the short story form.
