Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

From the creator of Bojack Horseman comes a series of funny, sad and sweet tales about love. They go from grounded poetry to fantastical short stories about crazy wedding traditions and in-love superheroes. They aren’t all perfect, but the collection is terrific.

My favourite was of a man and his dog, the author narrates the dog’s thoughts as his companion goes in and out of a relationship, and it hit that part of me that always worries what my dog could be thinking. Is he happy? How would I know if he wasn’t? It’s a very moving story, and I hope that is how my dog thinks.

This was a recommendation from a friend, for whom I am very grateful.
