Ok y’all...this was my first short story collection...I think EVER! They’re just not my go to. BUT, now I’m ready to add some to my TBR🔥
Danielle Evan’s is a phenomenal writer. She created characters that will stick with me for a long time, even though they often appeared in under 30 pages.
I find myself still thinking about Vera from Anything Can Happen (I don’t want to post spoilers but if you read this let’s DM about this short story!!). The novella at the end had strong The-Vanishing-Half vibes but with a major 😳 ending (again no spoilers but please DM me to discuss). Boys Go To Jupiter had my jaw on the floor and the wedding saga in Richard of York Gave Battle in Vain left me with so many questions!
I recommend this book, especially if you’re having trouble focusing on reading. Each short story packs a punch, plus, you’re not faced with a daunting 500+ page novel.
