Show Don't Tell
Curtis Sittenfeld

My Dear You
Rachel Khong
Ten stories with premises that shouldn't work — a woman killed by a crocodile on her honeymoon picks out her appearance for the afterlife; a factory worker falls for an AI sex doll — and absolutely do.

Still Life with Bread Crumbs
Anna Quindlen
A famous photographer, broke and past her prime, decamps to a rented cottage and finds an unexpected late-life romance. Warm and wise.
