God I don't even know where to start. Initially I thought some of the stories were lovely, I really enjoyed the one about the cat and the one that took place at the funeral.
However, the manner in which women were described through multiple of the stories turned me so off, to the point where I struggled to get through the book through the last 5 stories.
I was really disappointed actually.
