3.5 stars.

Most of the stories were fun and interesting, but some of the short stories were just a bit too long for their purpose.

every single time i read oscar wilde's work i inadvertently compare it to dorian grey. this was both similar and wildly different because some of the stories felt too heartfelt and genuine which is a crazy thing to comment about

 Not the light, cheerful collection I was expecting but that is more a problem with my expectations than with the stories.
