Stories from the Tenants Downstairs by Sidik Fofana

3.5

What I liked about this:
  • Each character was so flushed out despite only having a short story to themselves
  • It’s a collection of stories about almost-strangers whose lives are connected by their living location

What kept me from loving it:
  • Some of the main characters were very unlikable. I’m just not a huge fan of an unlikeable narrator. 
  • Many of the MCs used racist (often  against Chinese side characters), ableist, and fatphobic language
