As someone who doesn’t read a lot of short stories I found myself unexpectedly enchanted by this collection—I fell head over heels down the rabbit hole of Olivie Blake’s sometimes absurdist, always fantastical writing and couldn’t have enjoyed myself any more thoroughly doing it. The first stories were stunners (I unlocked new secret emotions reading The Audit) and I wasn’t disappointed by a single story that followed them. Trust me when I say the characters are delectable, each story romantic in a new, sometimes frightening way—what constitutes true love if not repeatedly haunting and murdering your fiancé—and each season of the book better than the last. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for the meal Olivie Blake.

I loved this collection of short stories so much. Blake is a genius of allegory, metaphor, and somehow summing up great and terrible aspects of what it means to be human with brutal and beautiful clarity. From motherhood to mental health, with a dose of thermodynamics and entropy, she does it all in this collection. Forever in awe of her brilliance across genres and mediums.
