3.5. I really liked 4 of the stories (KM's humour and wit haven't lost their bite) but the other stories were much weaker.

Definitely dove into The Garden Party and Other Stories for a challenge. It also doesn't hurt that it was filled with short stories and a pretty quick read either. I also think this is my first book of Katherine's?
After diving into this book, some of the stories were pretty good. Some were better than good. The rest were just okay but not particularly my favorite within the book. I think it's because I wasn't used to her writing while reading this and some stories just kind of left me confused. Or I just wasn't completely invested in it either.
That being said, I might have to dive into one of her actual books and not another short story just to see if I end up liking her.

I wish all of the collection was included, but I enjoyed the 4 stories very much.

Enjoyed it but not seeking out more of Mansfield's work.
