October Book of the Month: You Think It, I'll Say It by Curtis Sittenfeld

© @tomreadshawphotography

You Think It, I’ll Say It is the first collection of short stories by American novelist Curtis Sittenfeld. The title perfectly describes the content of the stories within the book; Sittenfeld accurately describes familiar situations and emotions that are often left unspoken. These emotions are the darkness within each of us; the thoughts that cross our minds in the middle of the night that we would never admit to. In just twenty pages, Sittenfeld creates characters that the reader is automatically empathetic towards; evoking memories or bringing back emotions each individual will have felt to some extent in their own past. In a world that places so much onus on perfection, Sittenfeld presents the reality: a world with mistakes, imperfections and failings.
