⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Sungold, A Talking Cure
⭐️⭐️⭐️: Carol Alone, Saint Wade, Gregory's Year
⭐️⭐️: Adan Olam, Mike's Song, Poets
⭐️: Flings, After Ellen, A Night Out, The Happy Valley
The writing was very literary and I enjoyed the style, but I did not enjoy the content of the stories. I did not understand what was meant to be conveyed in most of them. Many of them feature lackluster or completely unlikeable characters, and while I don't typically mind that, there seemed to be nothing but the characters carrying the stories.
