I'm not going to rate this because I feel like I'm missing something about this, and I ended up hating it. But I don't think I fully understand what this book was.

Intriguing but I’m trying to get out of a reading slump and the reviews said this had no point

I had a problem with the syntax of this book. I gave it several goes and abandoned after 1/2 way through.
I did find the first story the most engaging.

Sometimes the writing is nice, but it's very rare that I finish an entire book and still have absolutely no clue what the point was.

Quick read but half the time I had no clue what was going on, nor did I understand how these short stories tie together. The last story ends on a really sad note which caught me off guard.
