Paperback.

Great collection of short stories set on the West Coast. Stories that range from body issues, to race, to gentrification, and much more.

Stories that stuck out for me were Rogues, Sunshine, and The Liberace Museum.

Some stories fell flat for me but overall I loved the SoCal motif and racial interplay.
