This might be one of my favorite books that I’ve read so far this year. I understand why it might not have worked for some people, and there’s definitely a risk when writing a collection of short stories - some stories just may not speak to readers, causing their opinion of the book overall to falter. I guess I was lucky that each of these stories worked really well for me. I found myself needing to take breaks often because of how at some points it felt like I, as the reader, was impacting the story. Overall, a great book.
