Made it about a third of the way through and put it down. Some interesting writing and storytelling but also not enough cohesion in the theme to enjoy this collection. Some of the stories are very disturbing and include topics like suicide, matricide and terrorism (plane crash) that I wasn’t prepared for and didn’t enjoy. It’s a no for me.

It was ok - in a collection of short stories, I cared so little about the characters. I wanted to like this collection more than I did. Overall, meh.

Not going to lie this was a bit of a disappointment!
A lot of the stories I found very boring and just wasn't hooked at all so ended up skipping most of them. There were a few interesting ones which I really enjoyed but they were few and far between and couldn't make up for the rest of the stories which I had to skip or read but were boring. I imagine it was good for the authors to be anonymous but the few stories I did like, I would have loved to know who wrote them so I could go and read more of their work!
Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my views.

Some of the stories were super cringe. Like you knew they weren't used to writing smut/sex scenes while others actually did a good job of being spicy with a good story. I wish I knew who wrote what!

medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Important to note that this is not a collection of sexy stories. Some of them are sexy, some of them are explicit, some of them are spooky, and some of them are miserable, but they all have sex in them. As you would imagine, they vary widely in tone and style.
This is another good choice as a side book, to dip into as a break from your main book.
