A New York Times Notable Book A man tells a story to a woman sitting beside him on a plane, little suspecting what it reveals about his capacity for cruelty and contempt. A callow runaway girl is stranded in a strange city with another woman's fractiously needy children. An uncomprehending father helplessly lashes out at the daughter he both loves and resents. In these raw, startling, and incandescently lovely stories, the author of Veronica yields twelve indelible portraits of people struggling with the disparity between what they want and what they know. Because They Wanted To is further evidence that Gaitskill is one of the fiercest, funniest, and most subversively compassionate writers at work today.Binding Type: Paperback

Very pretty and very soft
Color: Brown (Faux Fur Bubble + Flannel), Size: Twin (60" x 80")
I am very satisfied with this blanket. I ordered the tie dye brown and the other side is a nice light brown color. One thing is that the double sides aren't bonded together so it's like having two blankets sewed together but it's not so unruly, for me, that it becomes unruly. I've had double sided throws that weren't bonded that were much heavier than this one and was hard to maneuver, fold up and such as the sides were not bonded together. Anyway, adequate thickness and super soft. Not super heavy, not too lightweight...a goldilocks weight.

It's so soft and cozy
Color: Cow Print (Faux Fur Bubble + Flannel), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
I bought this blanket for newborn photos, and now it's my favorite tv watching blanket. It was absolutely darling to lay baby on for pictures. It doesn't look like cheesy fake cow print, and it's so incredibly soft and cozy.

Best blanket ever!
Color: Onyx / Camel on Ivory (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: Onyx / Camel on Ivory (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
This is so soft. I just want to keep petting it. I love that one side has different colors. I am blown away at how good this feels agains my skin. It even feels good over my lap when I have pants on. I would highly recommend this blanket. I will probably be showing all of my friends. I just hope it keeps its softness and is a good quality. If anything changes I will update.

My mom loves it
Color: Onyx / Camel on Ivory (Double-sided Faux Fur Bubble), Size: Twin (60" x 80")
This was a Mother’s Day gift for my mom. She absolutely loved it! It’s double sided, which is hard to find on Amazon. It’s super soft, and not too heavy! The quality feels like something that is high end too!

FAUX RABBIT FUR THROW
Color: Brown (Faux Fur Bubble + Flannel), Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: Brown (Faux Fur Bubble + Flannel), Size: Throw (50" x 60")
This throw has a soft feel to it, like you’re holding a Bunny. It’s beautiful and has a nice backing on it. I have to say I do not find it a good value for the money thinking about long term use goes. Perhaps a small child might use it as a form of comfort. I probably wouldn’t buy it again.
