I love the fact that this book has so much diversity. Reading some other reviews, I have to agree with some points:
- I wasn't capable to connect to all characters. Some of the stories didn't give enough details that allow the reader to connect.
- It is lacking the existence of different endings. I think it would be nice if some of these stories dealt with heartbreak or other things at the end... Just so it could be different.

Not all short stories were for me, as you can see. Despite all that, I'm thankful for the opportunity to read and review this book.
