You Think It, I'll Say It: Stories

"The stories in You Think It, I’ll Say It are self-interrogating and warm Midwestern social commentaries about the inner lives of women. “The Prairie Wife,” for instance, one of the collection’s best stories, is about a woman obsessed with a TV- and social media star she knew when they were teenagers at summer camp. The folksy persona of this Pioneer Woman-type celebrity fills her with rage so strong “it was almost like lust.” The story begins like a wry commentary on social media envy – but unfolds into a gentler and more complex story about the different kinds of love."
