This slim title is a collection of five short stories that are loosely connected in the way that the stories in Love Actually are connected: there is some slight overlap in the lives of some of the characters and they occasionally even play a role that changes someone else's trajectory, but their interactions are typically neither deep nor frequent. The same is true here: a character from a previous story may pop up later in a different story, or maybe someone doesn't pop up where you expect them to, but it keeps you thinking.
The stories are perhaps a bit overly cute, but they're hopeful and forward-looking in a way that feels very necessary right now. It was an excellent and timely selection on E's part, and one I very much enjoyed reading!
