Incoherent and unpleasant, although I might have bumped the rating to 2 stars had there been quotation marks.
I was unaware that this was a collection of stories, and spent half my time waiting for things to connect, but alas. Also, half of them were set in other countries?
But to be fair, I only picked this up because of Florence + the Machine referenced it in Florida!!! and I am clearly not the target audience.

Beautifully written. Stunning descriptions. Nonetheless, I really did not like inhabiting this world of people who assume the worst of each other (and apparently for good reason because they’re all sort of awful), where horrid things happen to innocent creatures (children, animals), and life is a scary tightrope about to wobble and plunge you into the abyss.
