The age-old question of "Would you love me if I was a worm?" meets In the Dream House in a deeply fascination collection of short stories revolving around the relationship between the same two characters set in alternate realities. They're cohesive without being repetitive and deeply lesbian in a way that some people might not connect with. The more I've been thinking about this collection, the more I've grown to like it. It feels a lot like lying in bed next to your partner, unable to sleep because you're spiraling about everything and anything. I think one day I'll reread this and be able to get a lot more out of it. I definitely recommend it to weird fiction lovers (especially Lesbians).
