Started off real strong. I really enjoyed the first 4 stories, especially The Future Looks Good - even though it was tragic. I loved WILD; the dynamic between the two girls. However, the stories moving towards the end were a little convoluted and monotonous. I loved the cross Diaspora settings London, Nigeria, the United States. However, overall, it was just okay.

Like most short story collections, some stories stood out while others were forgettable. Overall, I don't remember much as I forgot each story as the next one began.

I don't even know where to begin. What a magnificent series of stories ranging from the tragic to the eye-opening. Just gorgeous.

I paused about a third of the way into it. Another book I've been waiting a long time for became available.
I may get back to finishing Arimah's book in the future.

I think everyone should read this collection once. The mathematician story still sticks with me, years after first reading.
