I think maybe I just don’t vibe with short stories all that much, bc I want to give it a 2.75, but in all fairness it prob deserves a 3.5. It kept me interested while I was scrubbing my kitchen floor. I loved the main character for the first half, but then…girl…really?! 

A fun, quick read. Flynn's pretty great. I hope she write another book soon.
