"The Art of What You Want" — I was listening to this while half asleep last night (my right eye was closing without my permission, and that's always a sign), so I'm not actually sure what happened here. But I was awake enough to know that it was fucked up. Will need to reread but I think four stars for now. 4/5 stars

"Generation" — Ooh, this one was almost sci-fi, and I really liked it. It doesn't get a full five, though, bc I thought the alcoholism angle was unnecessary and weird. If this was adapted from a stage play, it makes sense that the drinking would be a visual cue of Things Being Bad, but here it doesn't really work. We have access to the characters thoughts. Otherwise, great story. 4.5/5 stars

"Meet Cute #1: The Unluckiest Girl" — This is apparently an adaptation of a short play, and there are other stories in here that are also adaptations of his short plays. I did a legit double take while listening to this one, but it was too short for me to really get much out of it other than entertainment. My first non-five star rating for this author! 4/5 Stars

Rest Stop, still super messed up! 5/5 stars

Nat Cassidy must have shit his pants when he read that intro from Stephen King.
