I loved every story in this collection. They all have very heavy topics, but are written so well into a plot and handled so expertly that I never felt like I was trudging through it.
It's a book that will always be there when you want to read it and is a very good, emotional read, but does not always enthrall you so deeply in the story that you feel guilty for not reading for a long period of time.
