Unfortunately, I found the characters in every story lacking substance and flat, which made me not be able to emotionally connect with them; which in turn made the events happening to or around them come off as non-important and flippant.
While it is possible this was the intention of the author, I think it could have been gone about in a different way.
I love short story collections where I get to connect with a multitude characters or plots and unfortunately, I did neither in this book.
