This was a really enjoyable collection of short stories. I think the author could have gone a little deeper into the ideas of intersectional feminism and diversity, as that felt quite lacking - but otherwise, I thought a lot of them were very powerful and profound.

This was very good, I just find it difficult to connect with short story collections. The themes were nicely cohesive though, and many of the premises were extremely creative. Took me a while, but I enjoyed it overall.
