Overall I did enjoy the book but it was due to Miller's incredible writing and the variation between the stories.
Otherwise, most of the characters felt too stereotypical to really be fleshed out and likeable characters.
My favourite of the short stories was 'Total' by a mile followed by 'I Want You to Know'
