There were some really relatable aspects to a lot of these stories, and some very humorous prose weaved in. I personally really loved the story 'Pets are for Rich Kids'. It was such a poignant and nuanced story, while also being very funny.
However, quite a few of these stories fell flat for me. Several parts brought down my overall opinion because practically all the stories from the adult women felt like someone tried way too hard to be poetic, and ended up with some painfully corny single white female story.
