Januaries by Olivie Blake is a collection of short stories and novellas. It features stories about love, revenge, heists, and more.
I'm torn about this book. I absolutely loved the first story, The Wish Bridge. It's about a wish bridge that appears every full moon with a woman on it to grant wishes and the mysterious man she meets. The entire story was so beautiful, and I couldn't read it fast enough.
I enjoyed a couple of novellas like To Make A Man and Preexisting Condition.
Unfortunately, I did not love some of the other stories in this collection. They were just ok for me and didn't capture my attention. Would I recommend it? Yes, at least so you can experience the first story because I really loved it.
