You Have Arrived at Your Destination by Amor Towles
2.0
The Forward Collection Overall, 3.5 stars.
It's hard to give the overall collection a rating because some stories were hits and others were misses.
You have Arrived at your Destination - 2 stars
This was my second least favorite story. It started out so promising. I was really intrigued by this Black Mirror-esque story. The beginning shows Sam going to a new, state-of-the-art fertility clinic to essentially pick out his future baby. The three future scenarios were such a cool concept and seeing how Sam reacted to them was also interesting. After that point, however, the story went downhill for me. It felt like the author ran out of time and had to submit something before the due date, so he finished the story in 3 paragraphs and called it a day. I felt like it had so much potential but then dropped the ball in the second half.
