Very well written and I enjoyed reading some NZ short stories, however I felt that the minimal detailed interaction with other characters left a lot of the characters seeming very detached and a bit flat. The stories also seemed to trail off rather than having a solid ending which, while I think it was deliberate, didn't really work for me. I felt like the point of some of the stories was a bit over my head. I did particularly like Trashing the Flowers and Psycho Ex. Finally, I recommend checking the content warnings - there are reasonably graphic descriptions of sexual assault.
