Deceit and Other Possibilities by Vanessa Hua

2.0

I really wanted to like this.

There were so many stories with so many unique messages to be said.

But after the first couple of stories, each one was shallow, predictable, and the writing style is rushed?

The stories had potential to be great. However I feel like every character was only two-dimensional because their story was rushed. There wasn’t much depth. (Or the author just went too deep too fast without enough build up)

Also the reoccurring theme of evangelism was kind of awkward.

I wish the number of stories in this book was slashed to half- that way the stories could have been longer and characters could develop more depth and individuality that stories of this theme deserve.
