Just like most collections of short stories some hit and some missed I found some sort of entertainment in each story. The writing was excellent and for that aspect I'd recommend.

From humphreads.
Quite circling and dense all around topics of grief and regret. Took me forever to read. It definitely captured the mundane monotony of stream of consciousness real life but I can’t say in an entertaining way. Long passages where I had no idea what I was reading. The dog story however was phenomenal and it felt like I was truly in the mind of another creature.
"In an average life lived by a relatively average soul, what else remains but singular moments of astonishingly framed light?"
