May 31, 2025 (Reread): 4/5 stars
I wasn't that engaged when reading the first story, primarily because the main character wasn't that likeable, and the characterization of the programmer's career didn't seem realistic (small details took me out of the story because I am a programmer myself and they didn't make sense).
But overall I really appreciated how the stories weaved into each other and was amazed by how even such short stories managed to make me so emotional.
