This is so hard to put into words on how much I loved it but I did so so much. There were short stories that resonated and short stories that made me think about the person that I am or who I wanted to be. “Boys go to Jupiter” is my second favorite and one that had me asking questions at the end and “The Office of Historical Corrections” short story came at me out of nowhere. I didn’t think I would like it at all but towards the end, I was damn near tears. This is such a unique collection of short stories that I think everyone should get around to reading.
