Well due to it being a bunch of one shot stories of course not every one will hit.

So we have a story of a guy trying to show his art, his craft to the world, but no one likes his ugly ass plants. Then we have another story about a mother traveling overseas writing basically a letter to her son. We have one where a girl is trying to be a comedian and her father and mother have different view points on it. Then we have one about a woman and a guy meeting at a AA meeting, both damaged, and both fall in love with each other. Also one about a intruder breaking into houses.

Good: Enjoyed the first story about the ugly ass plants this guy is trying to make. It's filled with sad and funny moments. The one about the two drunks is also well done, dark, and yet somehow funny at times. Also disturbing because shows how people depend on each other even when they know they're no good for them. Last great story, and the best, is about the young girl wanting to tell jokes. Her mother is very supportive, her dad not so much, and in the next few months as her mom is getting sicker from cancer she is trying more and more. It's honest, sad, and joyful all at once and easily the best story of the bunch.

Bad: The story about going to America was boring and the intruder one was really bad. Those two kind of dragged it down for me big time.

Overall I'd go with a 3 out of a 5. I'd give the comedian storyline a 5 out of 5 but the rest range from 1-3.5. Overall a fun little book to check out!
