I read through this book fairly quickly, its a good enough book for a one-sitting read. The stories don't really seem to go anywhere and most of them just abruptly end but they are well written.
The stories are on the more realistic side and the writing style gives off the vibe as if a family member or friend is telling a random story one night. There wasn't really anything intense or emotional so it's a good book for a more neutral-feeling read.
