A great short story collection. I felt like all of the stories were strong in their identity and clear what they were talking about. So often I read short stories and feel like I have no clue what is going on but these stories give you some mystery and hidden meaning but not so much that you feel lost. The stories were darker than I expected (I think I didn't really read the blurb though lol). Many of the stories felt like looking at the past for me and the one about pregnancy and the what if of having a baby resonated with me so intensely. The prose was excellent, easy to understand yet powerful and interesting.
