Absurdist sentimentality in short stories that sometimes lends to deeply vulnerable social commentary, but just as often falls flat. A bit of a mixed bag, though none that were actually bad - though, only a few that were actually good.

although some of the short stories were better than others, it was a strong book overall and i enjoyed most of them. the writing style is fun and creative, the plots are bizarre and comedic, and the feelings are strong and emotional. a lot of the takeaways are about love and the ways it changes us, but also the way it can bring out more of who we already are.
