Some of these stories were so beautifully written and all of them had such striking messages! I loved the entire concept, how wacky they were - it really goes to show that at the end of the day, even the weirdest situations can be relatable when you bring it down to the basics of love, life, and existing. Also love the continuity through the books (I think the science company was mentioned early on in one of the stories and then also in the second last one)
