This book is heartbreakingly beautiful, it explores human emotions and relationships with each short story. It’s one of those books that all short stories are tied but they are not dependent of each other so it can be read at leisure. 
I don’t cry easily with books or movies so imagine my shock when I cried with almost every other story. I’m reading the rest of the book series and I plan to reread.
