1.5

This book was surely gross and made me uncomfortable, which I can appreciate, but I don’t think I was the target audience for this. I don’t have a religion or follow any faith and so I couldn’t really relate to any aspects of that. I suppose there were parts of the book I could relate to on a very surface level, but that’s all I’ve got.

3.5

the first story was incredible. i enjoyed it thoroughly and was so sucked in. that story alone would get 4.5 stars from me, a deduction of .5 stars because i just wanted more of it. the second story was also great, except for the author's failure to understand that

a fetus does not start kicking within a few weeks of pregnancy.

disregarding that detail, i give it a 4/5 stars. the last story was just not very intruiging to me. i ended up skimming through a large portion of it because the scene wasnt written well. it didnt surprise me or scare me, it was predictable and the "plot twist" got rid of all of the possible horror. 2 stars for the last story.
