These short stories really cover a huge range from being ridiculous and fun, to heartbreaking descriptions of grief. It took me a little while to get into this book at first, and I wasn’t keen on all of the stories. However most were enjoyable, and there were plenty of thought-provoking moments that I am sure will stay with me. I found I had a new perspective of the book upon finishing, and I would definitely like to reread it.
