Not the biggest short story lover so I walked into this one expecting little, but I was decently surprised by my general enjoyment. I liked the focus on the hardships of relationships and each story was really well crafted. However, I struggled with the vagueness and almost jump-y nature of some of the stories as it was difficult for me to invest in the plot.
