If you believe that feelings can be art, there is no better exploration of that belief than this collection of stories about tender feelings; stories that are, as the author warns us in her introduction, “deceptively simple.” These six vignettes, based on real-life stories Sarah Phillips has collected with care, demonstrate the kind of courage that takes an immense amount of emotional energy, self reflection, and intention on the part of the author.

When Sarah tells us about the ending of her friendship with “D.”, her emotions are tangible and honest; the dissolution of a friendship often leaves us with unanswered questions and a tangle of messy feelings to sort through. Sarah's own motivation to understand this kind of loss informs this project; each story is made more empathetic and real with an author who can relate to her subjects.
