Staff Reviews
This slim volume of short stories contains a lot of laughs. Most of the stories veer into the absurd (What if your ex-girlfriend started dating Adolf Hitler? What if your friends set you up on a date with a troll...an actual troll?), but just under the surface of these humorous tales though is a poignancy that leaves a lasting impression.

Description
In Center of the Universe, God struggles to balance the demands of his career with the needs of his long-term girlfriend.
In Magical Mr. Goat, a young girl's imaginary friend yearns to become "more than friends."
In Unprotected, an unused prophylactic recalls his years spent trapped inside a teen boy's wallet. The stories in Simon Rich's new book are bizarre, funny, and yet...relatable. Rich explores love's many complications-losing it, finding it, breaking it, and making it-and turns the ordinary into the absurd. With razor-sharp humor and illustrations, and just in time for Valentine's Day, Rich takes readers for an exhilarating, hilarious ride on the rollercoaster of love.
