We Want What We Want

In "We Want What We Want," award-winning author Mia Alvar presents a collection of thirteen sharply written stories that explore the complexities of relationships and the boundaries individuals navigate in their lives. From Vanessa's disillusionment upon returning home to discover her father's engagement to her childhood best friend, to Amanda’s unexpected reflections on freedom while rescuing her cousin from a seemingly idyllic cult, and Tamar's struggles when welcoming a young family member from abroad, these narratives blend dark humor with poignant insights. With themes of imperfect families and unresolved pasts, this collection offers a brilliant exploration of human desires and connections.
