3.5

This is so hard to review because it was a book of two halves. I found the first stories tiresome and difficult to get through and I was considering putting it down. I’m so so glad I didn’t. The last few stories were immaculately written and cycled through all of the human emotions from love to loss, relationships to loneliness and happiness to grief. Some of these short stories are without a doubt 5 star reviews but as a whole collection, the first 5 or so stories were not my favourite.
