Beautiful Sorrows by Mercedes M. Yardley

3.0

I was planning on giving this book 2 stars because I found myself bored and disappointed with most of the short stories in this collection, but the last story (based on a true story) completely broke my heart and the author's notes at the end of the book made me reconsider my opinion about some of the stories so ... while I wouldn't necessarily recommend the book to anyone or say that I enjoyed reading it, I'll say that Mercedes Yardley has a way with words and "Big Man Ben" is a story I'd recommend if you're looking for heart break and frustration.
