Fave stories are:
Hurricane Heels (We Go Down Dancing)
I have a soft spot for villains and superheroes--IF it' done by black people or people of color. I'd love to see a good villain story, or continuation in this universe, from Yap.
A Spell for Foolish Hearts
Oh I love a good office romance, and this was adorable! It's pretty lighthearted and a fun read!
Though honestly I loved all the stories included here. Yap is a fantastic writer and I'm looking forward to reading the read of her works.

I have so many thoughts about this book??? This was lyrical, haunting, and so so creative! Also, as a Filipino, I love that some of these stories are the stories I grew up hearing, but now with unique modern twists. Simply incredible.
There were a few lines/comments that didn't sit right with me, but overall, reading this was a breathtaking journey.
