wow!!! 4.5 stars. this book is really, really good. it has all the things i like - slightly creepy, beautifully written short stories where modern-day afflictions and issues are cleverly and metaphorically woven into fictional events. great characters. great writing. i only withhold my final half star because i wanted a little more from some of the stories. i don’t really know what, but for a few, i reached the last page and just said, “oh.” that being said, the majority of them were nearly perfect. i really didn’t want to put this book down. a great read for fans of Carmen Maria Machado.
