4.0

When I tallied my scores for each of the stories, it added up exactly to 3/5 and I didn’t think that was fair. There were some blunders, with a low of 2/5, but I think the quality of the 5-star stories matter more. Not every story is gonna be a banger, but I think everyone will find a story that speak to them in this book. The stories are diverse, and not always a about straight-cut love. A lot of the time, love takes a back seat (but is still a main theme). Buy this book IMMEDIATELY. I’m so glad I read it (thank you to my friend who lent me her copy).

A hilarious and emotionally profound book. Read this if you want to laugh and cry and feel giddily human.

I found some of the stories a bit strange and slow, thus the 3 stars.
