I enjoyed finding the little connections between the stories but overall the collection was ok.
Favorite story: Fruit juice

Some of the stories were good, but most were either average or too weird for this collection. Don’t really have much else to say, I didn’t really like it but it wasn’t offensive. Give it a try if you want, but you’re not missing much if you don’t.

enjoyable and interesting. nothing particularly special about the prose although the interweaving of the narratives was incredibly interesting and done exceptionally well

This was a mindfuck but in an enjoyable way for me. Dark, unsettling, and odd to say the least.
