3.0

Januaries has 12 different stories inside divided by four seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. 

I don’t know how to review this book, I have mixed feelings for each story.
I find some of the stories quite interesting 
Some are too short that I wished they are developed into a full length novel instead
Some are very thought-provoking
But some are also confusing and too long…. 
 
Out of 12 stories, there are only a few that I like such as The Wished Bridge, The Animation Games, To Make a Man, Chaos Theory, The Audit 
 
⚠️ 𝐓𝐖: Death, violence, sexual content, grief, mental illness 
 
I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
