Michael S’s Reviews > What We Talk About When We Talk About Love > Status Update

Popular Mechanics - Intense and brief, Carvers specialty
Everything stuck to him - a young love, lessons of devotion, potent and stinging nostalgia
What we talk about…- kinda disappointing and rambly but an interesting ending
One more thing - all the things to say when something is over, how few words you can find

So much water so close to home - woman discovers her husband has zero empathy, naturally believes he’s a murderer
The third thing that killed my father off - the longest and most boring one yet
A serious talk - what is up with these psycho husbands
The Calm - idk a bunch of people upset at the barbershop?
These are my least favourite stories in the bunch

The Bath - a harrowing story of grappling with loss
Tell the women were going - two misogynist besties deny their feelings for each other and continually cheat on their wives
After the Denim - the longing that sits behind resentment of younger generations

Gazebo - infidelity shattering the sanctity of a relationship. Poignant images of what could be, what a relationship can represent to a person.
I could see the smallest things - the little discrepancies that tarnish friendship, and the quiet longing of that love once it’s been disrupted.
Sacks - a son drinks with his cheating father; the betrayal felt when someone you love could turn their back so easily.
