gma2at's review against another edition
4.0
Thanks to Goodreads for sending this First Reads book for free through Goodreads Giveaways.
I am not a fan of short stories and these, of course, are the shortest as they are flash fiction. This fact is the main reason this doesn't get higher stars, so I'm not sure that's exactly fair. The writing was very well done. It takes a lot of skill to be able to write flash fiction and have it be meaningful and believable and Holland does just that. I didn't like some of the stories as they were on the morbid and dark side, but most of them were enjoyable for me.
This was a very quick read and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes short stories.
