A Small Apocalypse by Laura Chow Reeve
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
unfortunately this was a DNF for me.
The writing itself was good, There is no doubt that Laura Chow Reeve is a good writer but I just couldn't get into the stories. I am a plot girlie and I tend to struggle with short stories more often than not because they do not feel complete but I saw this book and the cover and I thought it looked and sounded good so I decided to give it a go. I read the 1st 3 stories and they felt incomplete, I think I might be missing the point/message in them which to me I don't think there is one? Anyway, I put the book down one day and just didn't feel the urge to pick it up again for weeks so I had to call it quits. This is just my personal preference.
many thanks to Netgalley and Northwestern University Press, TriQuarterly for providing a digital copy to read, as always opinions are my own.
