I’m starting to think that short story anthologies aren’t for me bc I just couldn’t stay engaged in this book. Maybe it’s bc we aren’t with the same characters for the whole book? What I did think was kinda cool was how characters were recurring (ie someone mentioned in one story was the main character in another story).

Also there’s a lot of sexual content that I didn’t know about, so fyi.
