It was almost impossible to tell the narrators of these stories apart. When the stories started getting interesting, they stopped suddenly.

Tales of bizarre events turn out emotionally relatable in Ling Ma’s collection of short stories. From a woman living with 99 exes and a husband to a woman dealing with an unusual pregnancy complication, Ma’s stories embody both the extreme and everyday.

This book would be for someone who is in the mood for something: Curious, strange, offbeat… unusual.

I love a short story collection, this one’s a neat mix of stories that will often leave you saying “what the fuck?”
