Russo is so damn funny!!!

"I feel less alone when I'm by myself."

"Nothing weighs more than someone else's belief in you."

"Ted...doesn't know what to say, so he doesn't say anything, which makes Louisa very jealous. His brain is a lot more disciplined than the anarchic mush she's got in her own skull."

......

"Love doesn't die just because you stab it in the heart. It can walk around wounded and bleeding, for years."

"The air has colours, she breathes them in."

The final tale was the best of the bunch- classic gangster Winslow.

"He was so mischievous once, plump with childhood."

Story number five was kinda juvenile. Meh...

"She's become a thing out of a story no one bothers to tell anymore."

"On the boombox, Linda Ronstadt is singing 'Heart Like a Wheel,' rich and sweet enough to make heartbreak sound like something to wish for."

"Lena favors people who don't match their exteriors. They give her something to wonder about."

Story number four was a bit of a clunker. Still, three outta four ain't bad!!!
On to the next tale...

I forgot how much I enjoy reading this dude's creations!
The first three stories were great, with each stronger than the one before. One never knows how an author will be with the short story format- especially those who write HUGE, epic novels- but Mr Winslow is crushing it!! Good times :)

"When you're in the service industry, people are always pulling at you. All day, you're getting nibbled to death by ducks."

"I hate when grown women speak in that breathless girlie voice. It's like Holly Hobby fucked the Devil. "


🤣🤣🤣

I've never been this bored with a Will Trent book...

I keep forgetting how insufferable Sara is. Ugh....

"His face had more scars than hers now, with deep wrinkles that fanned from the corners of his eyes and dueling parentheses that sliced into the hollows of his cheeks."

"It is tiring to deal with someone who has made an enemy of you when you do not think of them at all. But, of course, this is often why they hate you."

"But that is what the gods are for, is it not?
To lift us when we are broken, and to stanch us when we bleed faith."

"We were living in the gaps of his obsessions."

Geoff's bumbling father Mr. Hale is such a wonderful character! Love him : )

We have lift off!!

"The man didn't seem like her mother's type. He was too...smiley. And he took up too much space, like a joyful grizzly bear."

:)

"Mama's stories were unsuited for the ears of children- stories of evil without consequence and pain without cease- the unholy things that happen when God blinks."

Been waiting to jump into this one for a minute now!!

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

"How was she to believe man was anything special when he looked so much like any other animal in death? He was just another rained-on, ruined carcass, as if he had never kissed her, as if he had never danced."

This is fantastic so far!!
