loved “snare”, “cursed bunny”, and “scars”
Decently written but not my thing, I liked very few of the stories but I definitely enjoyed "Reunion" the most– I'm glad I didn't DNF this

I really enjoyed this book and the more and more I think about each story the more and more I seem to enjoy them.
I think there was a lot of social commentary and analysis in these short stories and with one read through I can already tell there are thing that I missed and things that only click right at the end. I really enjoyed that this wasn't just a book of happy endings wrapped up in nice little bows. It was a very different vibe for me to read such a chaotic and unresolved book and I enjoyed it so so much will very much be looking out for any more books by Bora.
