A review by minty
Bliss Montage by Ling Ma
4.0
As with all books of short stories, some were better than others here. But I loved how they were all interlaced, and after the first two or so they were really good, and interesting, and sometimes anxiety-inducing. The last one (one of the more out there--but exactly what a good short story shoudl be) had a line that will stick with me for a long time--something like "She could endure the brutality of the moment for the clarity that it brought her." (I listened to the audiobook, so getting this exact is a challenge.)
But probably my favorite part? The offhand mention of Surfer Cooler, the least known but far and away best Capri Sun flavor. Ling Ma is my people.
