"The story never changed, always the same words in the same order, the same conspiratorial delivery. So faithful to the first time she'd heard it she didn't believe it anymore."

some of the stories slayed, some were like whatever
nessiebooks's review against another edition
Just not my style of book. Feel like I don’t entirely get what’s the plot of each short story. The front cover blurb gives me a better idea of what’s happening than the actual chapter

I thought I didn’t like short story collections; it turns out I just wasn’t reading the right ones because this collection blew me away. Every story packs a punch and leaves an impact. Emotional, beautiful, striking, and sincere. I’m going to keep thinking about many of these stories for a long time.

Hard to read at times, but all the stories were thought provoking.
