I thought this collection was well written, I just didn't like it. Between the cover and the title I thought it would be lighthearted, but it wasn't. Which is fine, it's just not what I wanted from the collection.
The story I liked best was G, which was about a toxic friendship and a fantastical drug.
The last story, Tomorrow, was about a made up pregnancy condition, and it was explained just enough that I couldn't accept it as a magical realism thing, and instead I thought the defect was just not possible. Thus preventing me from engaging with the rest of the story.
