this was a unique and diverse collection of shorties. I loved the general feminine theme and how each author used their authentic voice and form to create something special. there were only a couple of stories that didn’t resonate with me, but this did not spoil my enjoyment at all.

Given the fact that these are short stories from multiple different authors, I think it is not fair to give this book a star rating. Some stories I adored, some I thought interesting, some stories I think were weird, and others I didn't really care about. I will still recommend this book, I am sure some stories will touch you in one way or another.
