The Best American Short Stories 2014 by Heidi Pitlor, Jennifer Egan

3.0

It isn't that the stories in this collection are mediocre (they're all really good), but I gave the book 3 stars because most of the stories are. Utterly. Depressing. I don't know how many times I felt like harming myself while reading this book. I'm not even kidding. Maybe the stories seemed really depressing because I'm struggling with depression and seasonal affective disorder right now, but I don't know. Hard to say. Three stars. That is all.
