DNF - first two stories I would give around 2 stars- writing style wasn’t for me I guess- I felt like there was more a lot of telling you what to think than just showing. Certain things felt obviously implied but had to be explicitly re-explained anyway

Samantha schweblin is an excellent storyteller. I didn’t want to rush through these short stories. Each was interesting and uniquely situated that I couldn’t tell it was all by the same author.

Odd short stories that seemed as if they may be getting somewhere interesting and then just end. Definitely worth the quick read…
