No One Belongs Here More Than You: Stories | Miranda July

#14 of my year! My favorite music artist, Justin; Crywolf, references this book often and so of course that means I have to devour it and read it for myself. It‘s been on my TBR list for over a year and I‘m happy to finally get to it. #thattitleispowerful

Caffeinated_Reader At first I thought this book was hilarious in an ironic kind of way. Like reading each short story after another was an attempt to see how uncomfortable someone could make you until you either blushed or burst into tears.

Caffeinated_Reader if that clearly explains my take from this book but yeah lol Some stories made me angry others made me laugh and then feel like a jerk for laughing. This world is full of complicated people that all deserve to tell their stories and live through the confusion and I guess that‘s my take away from this tiny odd book. As long as you‘re breathing you still have the power to change whatever situation you‘ve found yourself in. 4y
