really liked it

Short and sweet little musing on the messiness of friendship and interpersonal relationships as parents and mothers that cuts straight to the bone of our awkward humanity, the ironic universality of our differences and how that keeps of from being with each other, and a reminder that we’re all weird and uncomfortable animals.

I could really relate to Mary’s gregariousness and her attempts to overcome it, sometimes being self critical or self depreciating. The recurring use of relating to things as if they were book reviews was clever.

Definitely worth the short read.
