You Think It, I'll Say It by Curtis Sittenfeld Book Summary

“Every bit as smart, sensitive, funny, and genuine as her phenomenally popular novels,”* a dazzling collection from the New York Times bestselling author of Prep, American Wife, and Eligible

“I really loved all the characters in this book. They’re so complex and interesting, and in every story, you’ll find them going through these pivotal moments in their lives.”—Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club Pick)

NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PEOPLE AND USA TODAY AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • NPR • Financial Times • San Francisco Chronicle • New York Public Library • Refinery29

A suburban mother of two fantasizes about the downfall of an old friend whose wholesome lifestyle empire may or may not be built on a lie. A high-powered lawyer honeymooning with her husband is caught off guard by the appearance of the girl who tormented her in high school. A shy Ivy League student learns the truth about a classmate’s seemingly enviable life.

Curtis Sittenfeld has established a reputation as a sharp chronicler of the modern age who humanizes her subjects even as she skewers them. Now, with this first collection of short fiction, her “astonishing gift for creating characters that take up residence in readers’ heads” (The Washington Post) is showcased like never before. Throughout the ten stories in You Think It, I’ll Say It, Sittenfeld upends assumptions about class, relationships, and gender roles in a nation that feels both adrift and viscerally divided.

With moving insight and uncanny precision, Curtis Sittenfeld pinpoints the questionable decisions, missed connections, and sometimes extraordinary coincidences that make up a life. Indeed, she writes what we’re all thinking—if only we could express it with the wit of a master satirist, the storytelling gifts of an old-fashioned raconteur, and the vision of an American original.

A bit too political. Otherwise good. As a disclaimer, the first and last chapter reveals author is an avid Hillary supporter. If you can get past that, most of the stories are written well. I can feel related to the characters. I thought I will be intimidated by privileged white female democrats. Now that Trump completed his term, I can read the book with somewhat outsider viewpoint and not intimidated.

Amazing book!. This books touched on so many different topics through these characters that we all go through one way or another. It’s hard to not relate with at least one of the characters. The stories felt so real and I felt for the characters. I will read this book again.

You think it; I’ll say it.. I found this book irritating and random. I can’t see what the author was trying to accomplish with his vignettes that really didn’t link well. The sudden ending just left me thinking how thankful I was to be done with a mosh mash of unpleasant characters.

Read it!. This collection of stories feels like being with a very best friend. I enjoyed every minute of it. It truly is exactly what the title conveys: the author is saying what people are thinking—and don’t we all want to know what’s really, actually going on in other people’s minds? The writing is also fantastic. I love how she layers bits of information so that you never know what she’s going to reveal next.
