I really enjoy Lorrie Moore's writing and point of view generally and I enjoyed this book specifically. I can relate to many of the characters, even when they're not characters that I want to relate to. This is a book about relationships between people that are often problematic or dysfunctional. In this way it is similar to Self Help, another collection of Moore's short stories. It's tone, however, is darker and some of the characters are more grotesque or absurd.
