Delightful collection of short stories, linked both thematically (relationships, marriage, infidelity, words) as well as a couple recurring characters. Haven't laughed like that for a while.
More like 4 and a half stars. I really enjoyed this collection.
I have never cheated on a SO, and Heiny pretty much confirmed what I always thought: it must be exhausting. Most of the characters in these stories are having affairs, and almost all of them are cheating on husbands who are pretty awesome in their own right. I think it's meant to be an examination of happiness on the part of the cheating main characters. What makes one happy when one has everything else?
I really loved that one family appeared in several stories (oh! It's Rhodes and Maya! How have you been?)
I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite here. Perhaps, Cranberry Relish, in which the main character's lover from Facebook is moving on to a lover he met on Twitter. The times, they are ‘achangin.
Heiny's voice hit home with me and I can't wait for more.
