fast-paced

4.0

A good collection of engaging stories, including one I'd read before. 
One with a beautiful message of enjoying the time with your loved ones while you have them.

Edith Wharton's Atrophy was amazing and The Yellow Wallpaper really stuck with me. Those each deserve 5 starts, but I averaged it out
