Lisa Taddeo makes me sad. I feel sad for all the women in her writing.

“All Grace wanted was to be loved, to be heartily fucked and unconditionally loved.”
A devastating, brutally honest depiction of a woman learning to love in the daunting age of modern technology.
“1966 sounded like a terrific year for wine, but not for a woman to be born.”
“Her hands flew off the mouse. She was afraid. That digital fear of showing someone you love them, you are stalking them, you are watching their Instagram story seventeen thousand times in one evening.”

"The balance of the text was confident but not arrogant. He was not, he wrote, a metrosexual or a tough type or a brunch type or a Trump type, he was not any type, he was simply a man, his own man, and possibly yours."
Well, this was rather good.

Woah what the fuck 😳 this shit is dark af.
I didn’t fully get the ending (So what the fuck happened to Grace in the pool—did she drown? What happened to the child she gave birth to? After re-reading it, I think the child died shortly after she gave birth, but I’m not sure… and what about the guy she was tryna get with?)
At least I could tell the story’s about a middle-aged woman’s struggle with loneliness and finding love in the modern age. While, we also get to see her fucked up past.
