allyson dunn-worthy’s Reviews > Nothing But You: Love Stories from the "New Yorker" > Status Update

“Attraction” was one of the better out of the last 10 stories, but still unsatisfying. “Ocean Avenue” starts with this absolute banger of a line - “if you can still see how you could once have loved a person, you are still in love; an extinct love is always wholly incredible.”

“the only sex you could describe fairly well is bad sex - and who wants to read about that, for God’s sake, when everyone is having sad sex of their own?”

“Mother!”

gritting my teeth to get through this absolutely massive tome. inordinately humongous

“eyes of a blue dog” rocked. not a gabriel garcía márquez fan but i’d 100% return to this. dreamy, melancholy, just the right length. delicious.

baby hangover w/ first iced latte of the year. “How to Give the Wrong Impression” was what normal people tried to be, but in 10 pages.
