- Loveable characters? It's complicated
4.0
Some stories I liked more than others, but standing as a whole this collection was intense and chilling, and at the same time offered a nostalgia or familiarity that I couldn't quite place. The use of imagery and allegory evoked raw emotions about womanhood, sexuality, and the female body.
