All the Rage: Stories by A.L. Kennedy

3.0

I received a lovely, finished hardcover of this book as part of a Goodreads giveaway by the publisher. I've always been a fan of story collections, both fiction and non-fiction, so this book intrigued me. As the synopsis suggests, all of the stories are rooted in the idea of love and its many forms and meanings. I liked several of the stories, but was off put by many of them because they often focused heavily on lust and pessimism. While I sometimes enjoy a bit of cynical reading, this was a bit too heavy on the cynicism for me.

Overall, I would rate this a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
