"Assume for a moment your heart is a jar – one that has become wedged shut by a divorce, or a breakup, or 20-too-many sparkless Tinder dates. Now, think of each of these stories – written by the creator of BoJack Horseman – as an “As Seen on TV” jar-opening contraption. How can something so weird, so hilarious, so fantastical, help with a problem as mundane as a stuck jar? And yet … right there in the first story, a can of cashews with dubious intentions will convince you to feel vulnerable again. In the last, a grammatical error will turn into a meditation on fleeting, intense love that is itself fleeting, intense and lovely. And somewhere along the way your jar/heart will pop right back open"
