I usually struggle so hard with short story collections because I end up wanting more of certain characters and plotlines. This collection was no exception. I really appreciate the author's breadth of character types, as well as the fact that the emotional depth of the characters does not falter. I was deeply saddened to read of the author's passing in 2020, especially since he never got to see this debut published.
