60% of the stories were wonderful. The other 40% were just okay to me. I may have liked the introduction by the editor best actually.

Read it on my phone during breaks in Europe. Every story was good and melancholic in a cathartic ways. I felt like my environmental circumstances were more important than the story in my emotion, but that’s fine. Peking Duck by Ling Ma was my favorite for obvious (to me) reasons. Least favorite may have been Do You Belong to Me by Maya Binyam - idk I was so lost
