I've decided not to give this a star rating, mostly as I felt really disconnected from these short stories, reading mostly to tick this off my TBR. While some did stick out to me, I don't remember enough of it to offer any well constructed thoughts or criticism, except to say the setting and melancholy of the characters feels vaguely Sally Rooney-esque (I feel like I say this every third review, but it is my brand)

Not my favourite read, I was not really invested in any of the short stories and was confused by some of them. The one about the ventriloquist doll was so weird. But I did enjoy the one about the woman who found out she was being cheated on since there was real character growth in that story and was a lovely tale of womanhood. But other than that, none of the stories stuck with me.

just a very real and relatable group of short stories about all kinds of love. if you don't relate to some of them right now, you will in the future.
