"Loretta has a vendetta against the hot-dog-cart guy. Coach Don has a vendetta against STDs and a need for a new lung. Rachel hates making bloody marys but loves reading Virginia Woolf. There’s a pink lady with pink hair riding her pink bike through the linked short stories about life in a small Midwest town where a sex survey has scandalized some and bored others and where the pandemic has shaken all sorts of assumptions. A rich, surprising and delightful short read."
