I adored this collection. In fact, I wish other collections put the thought and time that Chelsea Vowel clearly has into choosing stories. The footnotes and endnotes about her process and what she was trying to express in each story took this collection to the next level, and it was already a standout from the fantastic writing and imaginative stories! I'm so glad I read this and highly recommend others do the same!
