Whilst each story was only short they were all good. The first one I felt ended a bit abruptly, but the others all had fairly satisfactory endings! Each story was unique which kept the overall book interesting and unpredictable.

It was a great way to celebrate World Book Night.

Most stories were painfully predictable. Good writing though.

Found this book for free by the canal. Today is International Book Day. So I thought, why not? Thankfully it wasn’t too long. Each story is worst than the previous one, so bland! So basic! Did I smile, like the book title promised me to? Nope.
