It was nice to read short stories again. They make for entaining short breaks in a busy week.

Although I did not like all 10 of them, I feel like many of the stories will stay with me for a long time. They share some running themes like writing, parenting and getting over a past relationship. My favorites were:

1) Five Tuesdays in Winter 
(about second love, fatherhood and bookshops)

2) Waiting for Charlie 
(about an old man looking back on life)

3) Timeline 
(about a writer, her brother and their neighbours)
