I loved some of these stories so much and then disliked others so much that I skipped them. My favourites were Most Blessed and Auspicious Occasion, Up-and-Comers and  More of the You That You Already Are. I really enjoyed how weird they were and I never knew what to expect. I listened to the audiobook which had multiple narrators and that certainly added to the experience.

This book was absolutely brilliant! I find short story collections to always be very adventurous & unpredictable, since you can (as is typical for this genre lol) expect a completely new story every few pages. 
Raphael Bob-Waksberg took this concept to a completely new level though! He switched between topics, moods, genres, themes, emotional approaches, underlying meanings, usage of stylistic devices & many more with every single narrative! I rated the 18 stories with an average of 3.8/5, & was deeply touched by many of them. This man is not only a storyteller, but a poet! An artistic genius; an incredibly skilled multitalented mastermind & comedian!!!

Some stories deserve a 5 no doubt, some I could’ve done without. A book I could recommend to most people and they’d find enjoyment somewhere.

INCREÍBLE 10/10 el mejor libro q leí jamás. Al acabar el primer relato supe que le iba a dar esta nota realmente. Super ameno y de sentir cosas lo recomiendo 100% a todo el mundo combina comedia y ficción súper bien llevado dan ganas de comentarlo todo el rato me encantó. Es el tipo de libro que te coge así por los cojones y no quieres terminar nunca!!!!!!! I cannot stress this enough
