I am not sure what to say about this collection. It was confusing and very pretentious. Not at all what I thought it would be.

I don’t think short story collections are really my thing … none of them have clicked for me so far

Anthologies are tough to rate, this one in particular as I was such a fan of the authors debilut novel, Tender Is The Flesh.
There were some really standout stories in this collection, with some pretty haunting psychology, but I found myself bored or unengaged with the majority here.
Some excellent writing regardless, and will look out for whatever she puts out next.

A collection of short stories from a popular author! These were my favourites-
Roberto- I absolutely loved the concept, dark but so empowering!
Anita and happiness- I was hooked on this story, loved every word of it. I wished it was its own novel and not a short story!
Earth- This was a hard hitting story, caused me to feel many emotions, whilst it wasn’t a happy ending was still thoroughly enjoyed.
I enjoyed this book a lot, I liked the dark nature of most of the stories.. however some were hard to get along with, I feel that may be due to translation and not the authors fault.
Also. The colour of this book is gorgeous and definitely eye catching!
I will definitely be checking out this authors future reads!
