4.0
I wasn’t entirely taken to every story, finding some more interesting than others. Unfortunately, the final story was probably one of my least favorites, which is a bit disappointing, since you always want a collection to end on a high note. (I could be in the minority on this front though, who knows.) All-in-all, though, it’s a unique short story collection that’s worth picking up.
Graphic: Death, Police brutality, and Grief
Moderate: Bullying, Violence, and Racism
Minor: Drug use
