Some stories were phenomenal, others dragged. 3 stories all followed the same woman at different points in her life, to the point where I was convinced this would become a novel all about Juliet. Glad I read it, but wouldn’t say it’s a favourite.

idk, there’s just something in the precise simplicity of Munro’s writing that just lights a fuse in my brain. Will absolutely be reading more from her after this.

I had a really hard time getting into these short stories. I read the first two. This book was just "eh" for me.
