What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours
by Helen Oyeyemi
Overall, I enjoyed this. I liked how even though it was a collection of short stories, they were all entwined, with characters appearing in more than one story and the recurring symbolism of keys, doors, puppets, etc. However, all of the stories were so chaotic and messy and half the time I was struggling to figure out what even was going on. The endings were all just so vague, abrupt, and not even really endings? There was no resolution and it felt like a bunch of nothingness that spiraled off into tangents. I only thoroughly enjoyed "Sorry" Doesn't Sweeten Her Tea and A Brief History of the Homely Wench Society. The rest were barely memorable.
