I have no idea what’s happening in the short stories… none of them resonate with me!!! Hopefully To Live will be more up my alley 🥲

3.5 rounded up.
Some stories seemed unfinished not in the sense that they were incomplete but in the sense that they did not feel like a final draft. There is something anxious, tense and sad floating about every story. I would say it was split almost evenly between stories that I liked and stories that had me scratching my head wondering what the heck did I just read.

Has some great moments here and there, a few good stories and is decently written all throughout, but the stories overall just seem a bit too incoherent to me. Maybe I’ll be able to understand them better if I re-read them but on one read through they fall a bit short for me.

Really lovely collection of stories. I will warn that listening to the audio book version of this novel is near impossible for some of the stories due to the writing style. I would reread the sections I listened to on my drive a lot just to fully understand the passages. I would not reccommend using only an audio book for reading this piece.
