A rather mixed bag of stories featuring characters people tend to pass over or make certain assumptions of, however none really drew me in.

I really love the book. Being a series of 11 short stories it takes the pains and struggles of Singaporeans from all walks of life, especially those whose lives we don't see because we do not take enough effort to. It takes the reader and forces us to see things from their perspective. That in many ways hurts because it is true. The situations are diverse, some even fictional but it all allows varied experiences and perspectives which are very good for both Singapore and international readers.
