I enjoyed this short story collection- the characters were all believable and the themes weren’t overly predictable. Not usually a short story collection person but these were fun to read and a few had some thoughts or turns or phrases to chew on. Didn’t rock my world and some of the characters felt a bit canned to me (but tbh could have just been the early 2000 setting).
