jessicaesque's review against another edition
I read these in the span of a couple of busy days. These delicious morsels are so easy to slurp up! Katrina Best's stories straddle both sides of the pond, representing the uniquely Canadian experience of places like Montreal and young families traveling to Florida. The mention of imitation suet brought tears to my eyes, and each story had me chuckling. There's nothing blatant about her humour, rather it slips into the corners of your mouth and infects your spirit with chuckling fits. Best has made her way into my top authors in only a hundred pages.

An odd, yet entertaining, collection of short stories.

lighthearted
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.5
flip flopped violently over trying to decide if the characters were wonderfully written or if i should become illiterate

Good little collection of short stories. The opener kind of sets the tone - a pelican in a park toying with his food with an audience alternately aghast and morbidly fascinated.
Some of the stories are monologues both dark and humorous. Diverse perspectives and locations, but everything with sardonic on the side.
