These stories didn't really make me smile. Positive was that they only took about 5-10 minutes each to read. Some better than others, and some authors I thought would be good were very disappointing. Though they did a good job of telling a story in a few pages.

This really did make me smile. Its very lighthearted and fun. Each story is very short and sweet. I enjoyed this thoroughly and it brightened up my day. 5*

Probably only really enjoyed a couple of the stories out of all of them. Not really sure how most of them were meant to make you smile

On average the collection got a rating of 2.83 so I’ve rounded it to 3 ⭐️
This was an okay collection of ten short stories, I did feel they got slightly worse with my favourite (and one that made me smile the most) being the first. The narration was good and the stories well paced just not the most interesting plot lines, characters and writing alright but doesn’t allow for much complexity/development due to their length. Would maybe recommend for bite sized stories as each aprx 15-20 minutes long and I found them primarily lighthearted, just not exactly to my taste.

A slightly funny happy easy quick read. A nice break in between more challenging bigger books

I don’t know about making me smile, but this is a decent collection of short stories, which provided me company and entertainment for a few hours. Love the narrator’s voices. Decent selection of them too.
