I loved the book (The Last Girlfriend on Earth: And Other Love Stories) this story came from, but this was probably my least favorite of all the stories.

Eh. It’s about Charles Darwin. It took me a while to understand the punchline, before I had my own “Oh, Now I get it” moment - theory of natural selection in play. An okay read.

Brain Food: one potato chip
Scandal Level: naked lady
Violence: splashing
Must be ___ old to read: 15
Read if you liked: eating only one potato chip
Re-readability: eh
Thoughts: it's so short it's almost not worth talking about. the full book might be good but this story doesn't give enough to form an oppinion.
