Review:
An Amazon Best Book of April 2018: Curtis Sittenfeld is one sharp writer, and she gets farther, faster in these intense, compressed short stories than most novelists do in the course of a book. Her characters in You Think It, I’ll Say It are middle aged and middle class. They’re “set.” They’ve got their partners; they may have kids; they’ve got their work to do. But they’re still thinking about the past, about the mean girl who tormented them in high school (“A Regular Couple”); about that random guy they slept with, or wished they had (“The Do-Over”); about the friend they betrayed with the casual ruthlessness of youth (“Vox Clamatis In Deserto”). Each story is a reckoning with the vestiges of their former selves, though those selves may be invisible behind their successful adult personas. If you love Sittenfeld’s novels, you must read these stories. If you are new to her work, You Think It, I’ll Say It will convince you that she is one of the most versatile and insightful writers in America today. —Sarah Harrison Smith, Amazon Book Review
