Things That Cause Inappropriate Happiness by Danila Botha, Danila Botha
Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.
DNF
*arc reader* I did end up DNF'ing this book. I found it extremely difficult to read through some of the stories, and perhaps that is because the Jewish experience is not something I relate to, I found it hard to follow along with some of the topics and traditions touched on in the stories. I did finally put this book down once I got to the story "Always and Angel, never a God" - I found it incredibly insensitive and uncomfortable and just wasn't something I wanted to continue reading. The writing felt stunted, many of the stories ended abruptly and didn't really say much of anything at all. Because of this, I unfortunately would not recommend this book in good faith, and likely won't want to come back to it to finish it anytime in the future.
