Save Me, Stranger by Erika Krouse
3.5
REVIEW: save me, stranger: stories by erika krouse
#gifted - thank you @flatiron_books for offering to send this to me in exchange for an honest review! out January 21
a collection full of so much despair, yet a small interaction with a stranger can change so much, can give you the strength you didn’t know you had, the fight and resilience you had long buried, and the hope you were seeking all along.
krouse explores the many different sides to humanity, all of the stories are dark and heavy, some characters choosing to end their lives, preferring death over known pain.
some of these stories had me holding my breath and have stayed with me long after I finished.
my favorite stories: Jude; Wounds of the Heart and Great Vessels; The Standing Man; Save Me, Stranger; and North of Dodge
don’t sleep on this collection, I’ll be buying a final copy to add to my shelves

Real Americans by Rachel Khong
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

I gave it my best shot, and am disappointed this didn’t work for me as I really enjoyed Goodbye, Vitamin, however, this one has yet to get me invested. It’s moving fast, it’s writing style isn’t for me, I know it’s loved by many but I just can’t get into it, so I’ll find it a new home.
