Because I had this as an audiobook, there are w few stories that went completely over my head so I can’t fully attest to every moment of the collection. That being said, I really enjoyed the strange and diverse array of concepts that the different narrators found themselves in the middle of. Audiobooks make it a little difficult to catch when the narrator would change, but it was a cool moment to see the accent of one character signify a POV shift in one of the stories. As a Chinese American, I also really appreciated the relatable experiences with microaggressions, family dynamics that were key to the narratives.
