There were some interesting tidbits and facts but overall I found this underwhelming. It got quite repetitive at parts, and I think that this topic would have been more successful if covered in a long-form article rather than a book.

Read this in two sittings and it absolutely blew me away! An excellent look at grief and loss in the face of unspeakable tragedy from multiple perspectives.

This book started with so much promise - after the first 50 pages I really thought it was going to be five stars. However, the nihilistic, ~edgy~ subject matter got old and repetitive for me. Also, there were a bunch of typos??
Still giving it four stars because it did make me laugh out loud multiple times.

Now that’s what I call a short story collection!!
Favorite stories were Algal Bloom, Hunting the Viper-King, Take Only What Belongs to You, and Is This You?, but there was not one miss in this collection!
