4.5 for the Awakening only. The short stories fell a little short for me, but I absolutely loved The Awakening.

While I liked the novel my favourite part of this collection was the short stories. I found myself invested and caring about these characters after only a few pages. The characters seemed to leap off the page and demand your attention. I felt the authenticity of their loves, their heart breaks and their lives. I'm so glad I finally read this.
