Thank you for the advanced copy to the author! 

This book was unlike anything I've read before. Genre-wise it was definitely sci-fi, however for some reason I did not find the stories authentic. Some of the characters choices and deeds were so unrealistic that it made the whole story fake for me. The characters were unfortunately one-dimensional and flat. From the 12 stories I liked Jay and The House With an Inside but No Outside the most because they had potential.
This is a great book for a novice writer but there's definitely room for improvement.
