Summer 2019 Reading Group Indie Next List

“Groff has surpassed herself with this stunning collection of short stories. Florida, with its ‘hellmouth’ summers, ‘all humidity and pink stucco and cellulite rippling under the hems of shorts,’ is the loose thread that ties the stories together. Told with deep intelligence and a compassion for characters viewed coolly from a distance, Groff’s collection examines the themes of family, loss, and human connection in startling and often heartbreaking ways.”
