I loved this collection so much that I blurbed it!! It's got everything you might want from a short story collection--blazing emotion, lingering memory, incredible tension, wonderful dialogue, and expertly crafted sentences. Some of the stories will have you tearing up; some will have you turning the pages with a grin on your face (my favorite was the one about the dogs! You'll know it when you come to it). I highly recommend these stories from a wonderful new voice in literary fiction.

Claro's passion for the craft shines through in his debut collection. All the men were awful, all the women deserved better, and it was a joy to read.

This is an excellent collection of stories from a very talented writer.

Read this book. You won't be disappointed.

[Lacey Dunham]

A heartfelt and emotionally acute story collection with excellent characters.
