A collection of short stories about people living in the same town. The stories are whimsical and at times unusual. Not an amazing read (or at least not to me) but not bad! Some might appreciate this more than I did.

I love this author and will read anything she writes! This was an epically imaginative collection of VERY short stories (they read like flash fiction) about the people in a neighborhood, as told from a child's POV. Lots of reoccurring characters and honestly, you never know what you're going to get with each turn of the page which made this a fun read.
