✨ Thrifted ✨

What a series of short stories! I’m skeptical of BookTok recommendations, so it took me a little while to buy this, but when I saw a pristine copy at the secondhand bookshop I knew I had to at least try. I’m so glad I did! 😳 

I’m squeamish at the best of times, but the imagery in this didn’t make me squirm (most of the time). I thought the ways in which the stories were written were so crystal clear. I kept putting it down, to absorb each story, then picking it back up almost immediately after because I was excited to keep going and was keen to get onto the next ✨

Here are my personal opinions:
Favourite: Cursed Bunny (the image of bunnies chewing everything and shitting everywhere made me laugh 😂)
Least favourite: Snare (the imagery in this one was a bit too intense for me)

Honourable mentions:
Goodbye, My Love (I love an AI/Klara and the Sun moment 😦)

I’ve already recommended this surreal and wonderful short story collection to my friend 🥰 I can’t wait to read more reviews 👏🏼
