I liked 4/6 short stories, plus the novella was excellent. Short stories I enjoyed were: "Richard of York Gave Battle in Vain" (a photojournalist attending a wedding gets pulled into shenanigans when the groom leaves the morning of the wedding); "Boys Go to Jupiter" ("a white college student tries to reinvent herself after a photo featuring her in a confederate flag bikini goes viral"); "Alcatraz" (a daughter takes her mother and some estranged family members on a tour of the prison "that tore her family apart decades earlier"); and "Anything Could Disappear" (a young woman starting a new life becomes saddled with an unexpected situation while at a rest stop).
