Raphael Bob-Waksberg

A fabulously off-beat collection of short stories about love—the best and worst thing in the universe—written by the creator of BoJack Horseman with his hallmark scathing dark humor “Transcendent tragicomedy.... Prepare to be devastated and made whole again.” —The A.V. Club Featuring: • A young engaged couple forced to deal with interfering relatives dictating the appropriate number of ritual goat sacrifices for their wedding. • A pair of lonely commuters who ride the subway in silence, forever, eternally failing to make that longed-for contact. • A struggling employee at a theme park of U.S. presidents who discovers that love can’t be genetically modified. And fifteen more tales of humor, romance, whimsy, cultural commentary, and crushing emotional vulnerability.

"I picked up this book merely because it's written by Bojack Horseman, and I was totally expecting to absolutely love it. And I did. It's a collection of short stories with exceptional narration. And it is also a very quick read, so to someone who doesn't like lengthy books, this is perfect for you. Everyone should give this a read!"

"It’s the bojack writers book. So it’s kinda dark and depressing but takes a realistic view on relationships. Short stories too so you can pick it up and put it down"
