this book was a surprise, in a good way and in a bad way. when i started reading it, before i read the last two stories i did think it was completely overhyped. especially the first story, i still think it was completely pointless!!! the other thing i have a problem with it the writing style which i was sure would be slightly poetic and magical, in a way and it actually was none of those things. it was just eh. a big disappointment when it comes to writing.
however. i loved the last story. and the one before also wasn’t bad. and i did end up crying by the end. so for now i’m not sure what to say. it’s not a five star. not even four, i don’t think so. its not terrible but it was a bit disappointing after i expected it to be my next favourite.
