4.5

This was my first time reading anything by Jay Bower and I was impressed! There is a wide range of stories so there is something for everyone. Below I have my rating for each story. Favorites of mine were Accepting, The Voice of America, Hanging Corpses, and Roosevelt is for Lovers (both parts). One of my favorite parts of the collection was the short section at the end that spoke about the origin of each story. I currently live in Ohio and finding out the author was originally from Ohio and seeing some of the short stories taking place there was super cool! My overall rating for Hanging Corpses is 4.5 stars, check it out!!!
