Customer Reviews

My favorite short story book

Not sure about the bad reviews because I personally loved these stories. They’re relatable, real, and have some grit to them. I originally read an e-book version but just ordered my mom a physical copy because she’ll love it

I'm sad I bought this

This was a really disappointing read. All of the craze about it had me excited but it's literally a collection of poorly written stories about nothing. No real plot to them, no arc, no scene setting, just bland writing that goes nowhere.

Terrible!

One of the worst short story collections I’ve ever read.
