There were some stories that were quite impactful but several were tough to get through/ didn't pull me in.

This was a good collection of short stories!! There was a good mix of scenarios in the book that I liked. The main reason the book lost 1/2 a star is because the story lengths fluctuated, I wish they were somewhat consistent but for the most part it was really good!!

I love the slice-of-life genre, but unfortunately a lot of the stories just really fell short. The ones I truly liked (in order of appearance in the collection):
- Unknown by Unknown
- Li Fan
- Farewell, Hank
- Klara
- Persona Development

A wide variety of short stories. Some were very good and each story had a point. Some were just a story.
