Customer Reviews

a lovely debut

The stories were great: funny without relying on stereotypes, poignant without delving into sappy. It's really rare a short story collection can sustain my attention throughout, but this one did.

Definitely worthwhile

Witty and humorous, yet still touches on some of the dark sides of being human. Great stories. Looking forward to more from the author.
