  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Loveable characters? Yes

3.5

Really loved this book to start. The chapters/stories follow distinct characters, but the writing is so distinct and stylized and sharp, they flow together perfectly. Darkly funny, the stories tell so much about the setting without nearly any exposition. The only reason if not rated higher is just due to a personal difficulty with short stories, always wishing there was an overarching plot with a clear emotional or conceptual climax.
