Ten stories about average domestic situations. Nothing found in a thriller and yet it is sometimes thrilling to get a peak inside the head of people doing regular things, living their lives, and figuring things out. One woman is having an emotional affair with someone her husband works with. When he unexpectedly becomes available, she learns he has no feelings at all for her beyond friendship. A volunteer at a homeless shelter develops a hatred for a new volunteer who is too bubbly and has a different philosophy. Old classmates run into each other on their respective honeymoons and their memories of their high school friendship varies quite a bit. Far from being banal, these stories are funny and sensitive. It was a pleasure listening to the audio version.
