Me encantan los libros de relatos cortos, me encantan las historias cotidianas y autorreflexivas y la mezcla del humor absurdo con el drama, así que me ha encantado este libro. Me alegro de haberlo leído con más curiosidad que expectativas, porque Bojack Horseman es una de mis cosas favoritas del universo, y la comparación no le hace justicia a este libro, que funciona increíbleme por sí mismo.

Review of 'Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I didn't plan to read this short story collection about love during Valentine's Day week—it's just when my hold turn came up. Yay, me!

While I'm not generally a short story fan, I enjoyed this collection more than most. My particular favorites were:

"A Most Blessed and Auspicious Occasion," in which a young couple planning their wedding faces interfering relatives and friends chiming in on the appropriate number of ritual goat sacrifices to be made (among other things)

"We Men of Science," in which a professor visits another version of himself and his wife in a parallel universe

"Rufus," about a dog who is frustrated with the poor communication skills of his owner
