Synopsis

From a brilliant new literary voice, a collection of stories that follow a young woman from college into her early thirties—from delayed adolescence to (delayed) adulthood. Through college, careers, love affairs, and marriages, Linden’s characters try to sort out what separates the passing from the permanent, the actual from the possible, and exactly how involved you really have to be in the basic questions of your life. From familiar patterns like ambiguous friendships, uncertain love affairs, and unfulfilling jobs, Linden has created something new: a sharp and intimate take on romance and infidelity, trust and betrayal.A deadpan narrative, cool and precise, about hesitation and doubt and how to rid your apartment of mice, Remember How I Told You I Loved You? is by turns witty, moving, and darkly humorous.

I picked this book off of Kindle's Monthly Deals list and was intrigued by the description. At first I liked the stories. They were all different but connected. However, by the end I too wasn't enamored by "Karen." Overall my biggest problem with the book/stories were the way Karen had relationships......more

Goodreads review by Dave on January 07, 2017

Some very descriptive writing. The stories traverse periods in a person's life. The main character drifts and it's hard to detect her growth or change through the stories. Reminds me of intelligent people with no sense of purpose.......more
