4.0

I bought this book because an author whose novels I love compiled it and it’s raising money for a great charity. If I’m honest I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy it as I’m not really a huge fan of short stories but this book may just have converted me because it is simply fabulous. The stories are all brilliant and even though they are all under one hundred words they have such power. I actually cried over two of them and nodded my head in recognition of the emotion in others. There is something for everyone in this compilation. I love how the stories are all inspired by songs and I now have many of the songs swirling around my head.

This book is one I will definitely read more than once and I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know. Go buy it; you won’t regret it!
