Featuring short, sweet, sarcastic, and occasionally sentimental personal confessions, this collection of submissions to the Common Ties website is as revealing as it is entertaining. Embracing brevity, Common Ties asks users to answer one of 20 questions in 50 words or less and to submit a related illustration. Questions posed on the website include "What were the strangest circumstances under which you have been intimate? ""What keeps you up at night? ""What was one of your greatest epiphanies? ""What was your most memorable chance encounter"? "What is the most bizarre thing you have done?" and "If you could go back and do something differently, what would it be?" Encouraging honesty through anonymity, these short confessions allow readers to address their own private plights through identification with the answers to Common Ties' universal questions.
