Self Help: Stories - Lorrie Moore

This is a book of short stories that I started reading yesterday during lunch. The first story, about how to date a married man, I loved. I hoped I would love the rest of the stories equally, but out of the rest of the stories in the book, I only liked maybe two of them. When they were good, they were really good, but when they were bad, they were uninteresting, melodramatic and hard to follow. It didn't take long to read (I finished it last night), so at least I didn't feel like I'd invested a lot of time or energy into it. I do want to read more of Lorrie Moore, because I have heard good things about her, but I feel like this must not be her strongest work.
