The Uptown Collection by Ruby Lang
3.0
Overall, enjoyable and made me miss NYC quite a bit (and be pretty irritated at myself for not having explored Harlem!).
Each story had some sort of weird family shit going on, though -- it seemed like all the characters were dealing with misguided expectations from family members and had honest confrontations where they were absolutely in the right but somehow reasoned that they had to feel guilty for how they acted because apparently respect only goes one way. Not saying this is a bad thing, but it was a strange thing to notice.
