Customer Reviews

The stories are all similar, but enjoyable.

The basic plot line is simple and repeats itself in almost every single story, but each time the character development is unique and interesting. The characters seem very real and I often feel like I am reading about people I know. I find these short stories to be very captivating and I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a change from the usual long novel.
